EXCLUSIVE: Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect) is set to join Scream 7, the new installment in the long-running horror franchise from Spyglass Media Group and Paramount.
Character details are under wraps, as they’ve been for other newcomers to the franchise including Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace and Sam Rechner. Neve Campbell is set to return as scream queen Sidney Prescott, with Mason Gooding reprising as her fellow Ghostface killer, survivor Chad Meeks-Martin. The other previously announced newcomer to the film series is Isabel May, who plays Sidney’s daughter.
No word yet on a plotline for the slasher. Set to hit theaters worldwide on February 27, 2026, the film is the latest for the meta horror franchise on the heels of Scream VI, which brought in a franchise-high domestic gross exceeding $108 million in March 2023. Collectively, films in the series have earned more than $900 million in worldwide box office receipts.
Kevin Williamson, architect of the Scream franchise who scripted the original Wes Craven film, will direct from a script by Guy Busick. Also aboard, following collaborations with the scribe on 2022’s Scream reboot and the aforementioned Scream VI, are James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, and Paul Neinstein, who will produce for Project X Entertainment.
Perhaps best known for starring in the a capella comedy franchise Pitch Perfect, Camp can currently be seen starring alongside Bruce Campbell in Peacock’s Satanic panic series Hysteria!. Additional credits include films like Jerry and Marge Go Large and The Help, as well as such series as Good Girls Revolt, The Good Wife, True Blood, and The Mindy Project.
Upcoming, Camp will be seen in the action comedy Bride Hard, opposite Rebel Wilson, as well as the anticipated fifth and final season of Netflix’s You. She is represented by CAA, Authentic Talent and Literary Management, and Schreck Rose Dapello.
