Courteney Cox Set to Reprise One of Her Most Iconic Roles in ‘Scream 7’

“It’s going to be fun,” Cox said of her latest role.

Courteney Cox is set to reprise her iconic role as Gale Weathers for Scream 7. Citing sources familiar with the project, Variety reports that Cox has signed on to appear in the horror franchise’s seventh installment, which is slated to be released on Feb. 27, 2026. Although Cox previously told Variety that she was “not officially signed on” in September, she said that she was still waiting for a final script and was “excited” about Kevin Williamson directing the seventh film. Williamson wrote the script for the first two Scream films, and Scream 7 will mark his debut as a director in the franchise. “You can’t get better than that choice,” Cox told Variety at the time. “It’s going to be fun.” Scream is a slasher franchise that follows the murderous spree of different killers who don a similar ghost mask. Alongside Cox, Isabel May and Mason Gooding are also set to star in the latest installment in the series.
