Scream launched a wave of new slasher movies as well as a franchise that followed Final Girl Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) to college, Hollywood, and homecoming before moving on to a new batch of Woodsboro natives haunted by the killing spree of Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. With Scream 7; however, Sidney is back. And this time, her daughter is the target of the latest Ghostface. But she's not alone.

If the reunion of Sidney and her enemy-to-frenemy Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) isn't enough to get you stoked, how about the heart-wrenching detail that Sidney's daughter (Isabel May) is named Tatum? Yeah. Does that hit you like a garage door to the torso? Sidney named her kid after the best friend who got slaughtered by Billy and Stu back in high school. Will Tatum 2.0 meet a similar fate? Or will she "be a fighter" like her mom?

Fear not fans of Scream V and VI, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding are back as resilient twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. But that's not the biggest surprise this trailer teases. If you stay to the very end, you'll hear a familiar voice say, "This is gonna be fun." THAT is the voice of Matthew Lillard, who played Stu back in Scream.

Fan theories have previously suggested Stu didn't die, and has been living out of the spotlight. Could that be true in Scream 7? Or will this sequel go the way of the Billy Loomis return in Scream V and VI, where Skeet Ulrich played a delusion (or ghost) that haunted his daughter?

We can't wait to find out.

Scream 7 will open in theaters on Feb. 27, 2026.
