Neve Campbell's "Scream 7" trailer has finally dropped, bringing back the Woodsboro horror franchise nearly three decades after its debut in 1996. The latest installment sees Sidney Prescott reuniting with a new Ghostface killer as she tries to protect her family from terror.
The first look at the film features Neve Campbell, now 52, alongside her daughter Tatum (played by Isabel May), who bears the name of Campbell's best friend Rose McGowan, murdered in the original "Scream." The trailer also stars Joel McHale as Sidney's husband Mark and Courtene Cox reprising her role as Gale Weathers.
The plot revolves around a new Ghostface killer terrorizing Woodsboro, with Sidney forced to face her darkest fears when her daughter becomes the next target. Campbell will once again play Sidney Prescott, who has created a new life for herself in the town where she first encountered horror.
A familiar voice from the original "Scream" can be heard at the end of the trailer - Matthew Lillard's Stu Macher. The character was one of two killers alongside Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) in the first film, and his return has been highly anticipated by fans.
Lillard shared a video on Instagram where he teased his return to the franchise with a handwritten note featuring one of his character's last lines from the original "Scream." However, he expressed nervousness about stepping back into Stu, fearing that it could affect how people perceive him in the role.
The trailer has been met with excitement from fans, who are eager to see Neve Campbell reprise her iconic role as Sidney Prescott. Meanwhile, Courteney Cox's Gale Weathers and David Arquette's Dewey Riley will also return to the franchise, despite their characters being killed off in previous films.
"Scream 7" marks "Scream" creator Kevin Williamson's first time directing, following the death of original director Wes Craven in 2015. The film is set to hit theaters on February 27.

I've been waiting for this for ages and it's amazing that they're bringing back Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott - she's still got that iconic look going on 
! And can we talk about how cool is it to see Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) making a comeback? 
I loved his character in the original and I'm so down for more of his awkwardness 
. But seriously, it's great that they're including some old cast members like Courteney Cox and David Arquette too - it feels like we're getting some closure after all those deaths 
. The trailer is giving me major horror vibes 
and I'm counting down the days till February 27 
Can't wait to see how they all come together in this new installment! 
I hope that doesn't affect the film too much.
Neve Campbell looks amazing as Sidney Prescott at 52! 
Isabel May, Tatum's daughter, looks so cute alongside her mom 
. But honestly, who doesn't love a good ol' Scream? 
! Fingers crossed for an epic 7th installment! 
Neve Campbell's back as Sidney Prescott and I love that they're bringing back the OG cast like Courteney Cox's Gale Weathers and David Arquette's Dewey Riley 
It's gonna be crazy to see what new terror they've got in store for us. And oh man, Matthew Lillard's return as Stu Macher is giving me all the feels! 
I'm a little nervous about how he'll step back into the role but I trust the filmmakers to do it justice. Bring on February 27 and let's get ready to scream our heads off!!! 
My favorite part is when Stu Macher shows up in the trailer, I forgot how cool he was back then! 
Matthew Lillard seemed a bit nervous about coming back to his role though, that's kinda sweet. 
Does anyone know if they'll be adding any new plot twists or surprises this time around? 
. The new trailer looks so intense, I can already feel the suspense building up. I love how they're bringing back some of the original cast members too, like Courteney Cox and David Arquette 
. Anyway, I'm super excited for Scream 7 and I hope it delivers on the horror and suspense 
I love how they're bringing back some familiar faces too, Matthew Lillard's return as Stu Macher has me so nervous but also super excited 
It's like we're all being dropped back into this crazy horror world and I am HERE. FOR. IT 
. I'm also intrigued by this new Ghostface killer - who's gonna be the one to finally take down Sidney? 
!
. and what's up with tatum's name? it's a dead giveaway that rose mcgowan was a real person and not just some friend of campbell's... feels kinda insensitive 
. also, courtene cox is still playing gale weathers? she died off in the last film 
. overall, i'm just so meh about this whole thing 
scream 7 is just gonna be more of the same old formulaic horror stuff that's been done a million times. neve campbell can't save the franchise at this point, she's not getting any younger and her character's been dead for years in the storyline... Tatum may be trying to fill rose mcgowan's shoes but it's just gonna feel like we're watching an older version of a different movie 
I mean, the OG "Do you like scary movies?" line is still giving me chills 
. I'm all about a good ol' fashioned horror flick, and this one's got all the ingredients 
. Bring on February 27 and get ready for some serious scares 
David Arquette's Dewey Riley is also giving me LIFE 
I remember watching the first one with my friends back in high school, and now she's playing her iconic character again. And yeah, Tatum (played by Isabel May) has Rose McGowan's name, which is just so sad. It feels like this whole franchise is being revived out of a sense of obligation rather than any real need for another movie.
. I mean, it's great that they're bringing back some of the original cast members, but come on, 52? Neve Campbell is aging fast 
. He's one of the most iconic villains from the original Scream. But seriously, who thought it was a good idea to kill off Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley in previous films only to bring them back again?
