Scream franchise star Neve Campbell is set to reprise her iconic role as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming seventh installment of the series. The announcement came via Campbell’s Instagram on Tuesday, where she expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity.
“It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies,” Campbell wrote. “My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me has never waned… Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!” You can check out her full post, including her watermarked copy of the script dated Tuesday, below.
Campbell’s return follows a hiatus from the franchise due to a salary dispute surrounding Scream 6. Kevin Williamson, the original writer behind the Scream franchise, had publicly advocated for a fair compensation package for Campbell–and he will be directing this seventh entry, marking his directorial debut in the series. Like Campbell, Williamson also took to Instagram to celebrate their reunion, writing “I can’t wait to take this journey with Neve and the entire Scream family as we bring back Sidney Prescott.”
