Isabel May is set to play the daughter of Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, in Scream 7. diverse And he confirmed.
May, known for her role as Elsa Dutton in the previous installments of “Yellowstone” “1883” and “1923,” will play the title role opposite Campbell, who returns to the horror film series after being absent from the sixth part due to a salary dispute. “Scream” creator and creator Kevin Williamson will direct “Scream 7,” while Jay Busiek, who wrote the fifth and sixth “Scream” films, will write the script.
“Scream 7” will finally hit theaters on February 27, 2026, after facing multiple setbacks, including production delays, creative overhauls and casting changes. In 2023, Melissa Barrera, who starred in the previous two films, was fired from the sequel due to comments she made on social media about the war between Israel and Hamas. Jenna Ortega, who co-starred with Barrera, had to withdraw from the seventh film due to the filming schedule for the second season of the Netflix series “Wednesday.” “Happy Death Day” director Christopher Landon withdrew from the project in December 2023, calling it a “dream job turned nightmare.” Production was also halted due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes last year.
Paramount Pictures will distribute the film, which is produced by Spyglass Media. Project X Entertainment’s James Vanderbilt, William Sherak and Paul Neinstein are producing with Radio Silence serving as executive producers.
In addition to starring in “1883” and “1923,” May played Katie Cooper in the Netflix sitcom “Alexa & Katie.” She is repped by CAA and Principal Entertainment.
