Scream 7 is preparing to go into production sometime in 2024, after recovering from a series of issues. These include Melissa Barrera's firing, Jenna Ortega's departure due to scheduling issues, and Christopher Landon's exit as director. Neve Campbell has signed on to portray Sidney Prescott, after sitting out Scream 6 due to a pay dispute. The series' original creator, Kevin Williamson, is also on board to direct the upcoming sequel. Information came out this week that details the original plan for Sidney in Scream 6 before she dropped out of the project. It seems like this potential storyline was probably best left alone, as it might have affected the plan for Scream 7.
