Having skipped the sixth iteration of the ‘Scream’ franchise because of a low pay offer, Neve Campbell returned to the horror movie series for 2025’s box office hit ‘Scream 7.’

And according to the actor herself as part of an Associated Press interview regarding her role on Season 2 of Netflix series ‘Black Doves,’ she confirmed that she’ll be back again for more clashes with slash-happy Ghostface –– or Ghostfaces…

Scream 8

No information has arrived yet on who might direct the movie –– original writer Kevin Williamson handled that job on the seventh and he may yet also return for more.
