We have confirmed that 1883 actress Isabel May is definitely playing the daughter of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott in Spyglass Media Group’s upcoming Scream 7 . The deal is locked, I’m told. May has made a big splash for herself as Elsa Dutton in the Yellowstone prequel Paramount+ series, 1883.
She also went on to play the character in its continuation series, 1923. The latest Scream continues on with original OG castmembers Campbell, natch, but also Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera, who both made waves in the last two movies, 2022’s Scream and Scream VI, aren’t starring in the latest iteration as previously reported.
Ortega exited due to her busy schedule on Wednesday among other projects. Barrera was fired last year after her social media posts centering around the Israel-Hamas war. Paramount is releasing the seventhquel, just like it did with the last two movies.
This one comes out on Feb. 27, 2026. Kevin Williamson, the architect of the Scream franchise who wrote the original Wes Craven directed 1996 title, is directing.
Guy Busick, scribe of 2022’s Scream and Scream VI , is penning the screenplay. Producers are Project X Entertainment’s James Vanderbilt, William Sherak and Paul Neinstein. The Scream movies, through six titles, have grossed more than $908M WW.
May is also starring opposite Past Lives ‘ Teo Yoo in Lionsgate/87 Eleven Entertainment’s Karoshi , a mysterious action thriller from filmmaker Takashi Doscher. Ot.
