Sidney Prescott’s Daughter to Join Scream 7 as Isabel May Lands Role Opposite Neve Campbell
Nov
The Scream franchise is expanding its iconic Prescott family in Scream 7. Isabel May, known for her roles in 1883 and 1923, has been cast as the daughter of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott, marking a new chapter in the slasher series.
A Prescott Family Affair
Sidney’s child was first teased in the 2022 Scream film, where she was shown jogging with a baby stroller, but the child was never seen. In the upcoming sequel, Sidney’s daughter will be fully introduced as a grown-up character, setting the stage for what could be a significant role in the franchise’s future.
Patrick Dempsey’s Possible Return
Patrick Dempsey, who played Mark Kincaid, Sidney’s husband, in Scream 3, has hinted at a potential return. “There has been a conversation,” Dempsey revealed during a Today show interview in October. While his casting is not yet confirmed, fans are eager to see the Prescott family dynamic unfold.
Behind the Scenes Drama
Neve Campbell’s return to the franchise is particularly noteworthy. The actress famously opted out of Scream VI due to a pay dispute. However, after the studio fired Melissa Barrera and lost Jenna Ortega due to scheduling conflicts, Campbell re-entered discussions, signaling a return to her iconic role.
The film also aims to bring back Scream veteran Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, though her involvement has not been finalized.
A Revamped Creative Team
Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter behind Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 4, will take the director’s chair for Scream 7, with a script written by Guy Busick (Scream 2022, Scream VI). This creative shift signals a blend of the franchise’s classic roots with its newer elements.
Isabel May’s Rising Star
Isabel May has gained recognition for her role as Elsa Dutton in 1883 and 1923, two prequels to the hit series Yellowstone. Her casting as Sidney’s daughter adds another layer of intrigue, as fans speculate how the Prescott legacy will influence the film’s plot.
A Killer Release Date
Scream 7 is slated to hit theaters on February 27, 2026. With Sidney Prescott and her daughter at the center of the story, this installment promises to honor the franchise’s legacy while carving out new territory for future thrills.
