Paramount Unveils Scream 7 Logo, Confirms February 2026 Release Amid Production Changes

The upcoming horror sequel Scream 7, directed by original writer Kevin Williamson, is set for release on February 27, 2026. The project experienced significant turmoil when director Christopher Landon and stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega left due to political controversies and pay disputes, leading to a redevelopment of the film. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, joined by franchise veterans including Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Matthew Lillard, alongside new cast members like Isabel May and Mckenna Grace. The film is expected to focus on Sidney and her family, reportedly incorporating AI and deepfake technology to resurrect past Ghostface killers within the story. Paramount has unveiled the official movie logo, featuring a knife slash through the "Scream" name, hinting at the sequel's meta storytelling style. Despite the setbacks, the film aims to revitalize the franchise with a fresh yet familiar approach.
