Ooh, this is quite a shrewd final girl move if ever we’ve seen one!
Neve Campbell left the franchise before 2023’s Scream VI in what became a very public dispute over money. She felt like she wasn’t being paid what she was worth, so she walked away. But could she be back for the next installment?!
The Party of Five alum told Variety on Saturday at the BAFTA Tea event in Beverly Hills that she would consider coming back “under the right circumstances.” Tea indeed! Considering the nature of her grievance with Spyglass, it isn’t difficult to decipher her meaning there. Under the right truckload of money backed up to her house, yes, Sidney Prescott could be persuaded to return to save the day.

And that’s exactly what Neve’s return would mean. In the past couple months the highly anticipated Scream 7 has lost stars Melissa Barrera (fired over social media posts calling for a ceasefire in Gaza) and Jenna Ortega (announced departure right after, supposedly unrelated) and then director Christopher Landon. Then insiders told THR the series is now in “shambles” behind the scenes! And Neve is all too aware of their recent troubles, as she told the outlet:
That’s one way to put it. “Spiraling out of control” might be more apt. In addition to their leads and a talented helmer, the studio has also lost a lot of good will with its biggest fans! But Neve’s statement included a bit of a lifeline as she pointed out how important the fans are to her:
Are we crazy, or is Miz Prescott angling for an offer? In the classiest way, of course, but damn if between those lines it doesn’t just say, “Beg me, pay me, and I’ll save your ass!”
On the one hand, good
