Scream is a seven-film series of slasher films, along with some associated projects in television and other media. The newest installment, Scream 7, was released on February 27th, 2026 with franchise legacies Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, reprising their roles as Ghostface leaves Woodsboro burning behind as he follows Sidney to her new home in Indiana.
