Scream 7 is a 2026 American slasher film directed by Kevin Williamson from a screenplay written by Guy Busick and Williamson, from a story by James Vanderbilt and Busick. It is a sequel to Scream VI (2023) and the seventh installment in the Scream film series. The film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Roger L. Jackson, and David Arquette reprising their roles from previous films, along with Isabel May and Joel McHale.

Following the exit of Scream (2022) and Scream VI directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett in August 2023, Christopher Landon was hired to direct the seventh Scream film. However, the film went through a creative retooling after the departure of stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega in late 2023, with Landon also exiting the project. In March 2024, Campbell confirmed her return to the franchise after being absent from Scream VI, with Williamson hired to direct Scream 7 after serving as writer and producer of the early films in the series. Filming began in January 2025 and concluded that March.

Scream 7 is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 27, 2026, by Paramount Pictures.
