Courteney Cox Returning for ‘Scream 7’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Courteney Cox will once again play Gale Weathers in 'Scream 7.'

At the time, Cox also expressed dismay that Dewey (David Arquette) was killed off in “Scream 5,” but hoped filmmakers could find a way to bring him back. “Scream 7” is set for release Feb. 27, 2026, after facing multiple setbacks, including production delays, creative overhauls and cast shakeups. Jenna Ortega, who co-starred with Barrera, dropped out of the seventh film due to her shooting schedule for Season 2 of Netflix’s “Wednesday.” Williamson replaced director Christopher Landon, who exited the project in December of 2023.
