Neve Campbell may not be the only OG Scream actor to return in Kevin Williamson’s upcoming sequel. According to insider reports, both Courteney Cox and Patrick Dempsey are rumored to be returning in Scream 7. While Campbell's return has been officially confirmed, Cox's return as Gale Weathers is said to be a 'lock.' Patrick Dempsey, who portrayed Mark Kincaid in Scream 3, is also reportedly in talks to reprise his role.
With Campbell's confirmed involvement in Scream 7, the horror series seems to be on the right track after facing some setbacks. The removal of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega from the franchise had left fans concerned, but Campbell's return has brought a sense of excitement and anticipation.
In a recent Instagram post, Campbell expressed her joy at reprising the role of Sidney Prescott, stating that it has always been an honor for her to play the character. Kevin Williamson, the creator of Scream, is set to direct Scream 7, bringing his creative vision back to the franchise.
The potential return of Cox and Dempsey, along with the possibility of Skeet Ulrich reprising his role as Billy Loomis, has fans eagerly awaiting the release of Scream 7. While an official release date has not been announced, it is expected that the film will hit theaters in early 2025.
