Scream 7 is currently in pre-production with a lot of uncertainty facing it after a lot of highly publicized upheaval for the cast and crew for the upcoming horror sequel by Paramount. It all started with the directors of Scream (2022) and Scream 6, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, deciding not to return to direct Scream 7 with their schedules being full of upcoming projects. They have remained on board as executive producers. However, fans were placated by the hiring of horror maestro, Christopher Landon, giving the upcoming sequel a safe pair of hands to take it forward.
