Following the departure of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett in August 2023, Christopher Landon was initially hired but later exited amid creative restructuring after the departures of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega. Campbell confirmed her return in March 2024, and Williamson subsequently took over directing duties. Filming began in January 2025 and concluded in March.
The story follows Sidney Prescott, now living quietly in Indiana, as a new Ghostface killer targets her daughter, forcing her to confront her past. Roger L. Jackson reprises the voice of Ghostface. According to Deadline Hollywood, the film is projected to post a strong opening weekend, potentially becoming the franchise’s second-highest debut after “Scream VI”.
