"We are going to follow Sidney," Campbell confirmed to 'Entertainment Tonight', adding that the idea is in the same vein as Jamie Lee Curtis' highly publicized return to the role of Laurie Strode in the 'Halloween' franchise, 40 years after the original.

- Neve Campbell is back for it
- THIS is what fans can expect this time
It's going ahead
Amidst controversies and a pay dispute that saw Campbell stepping away from 'Scream VI', the actress is back, hinting at a sequel that pays homage to its roots while stirring the pot with potential returns of legacy characters.
This delves into Campbell's journey, her stand for fair compensation, and a sneak peek into her other ventures, including a heartfelt documentary project.
Neve Campbell is ready to slash her way back into our hearts as "Sidney Prescott", the resilient survivor of the 'Scream' series. Nearly three decades since the first film's release, Campbell's return is a nod to the franchise's enduring legacy and its fans' unwavering enthusiasm.
"We are going to follow Sidney," Campbell excitedly shared, drawing parallels to Jamie Lee Curtis's celebrated comeback in the Halloween series. The promise of a script that honors the series' origins has Campbell—and fans—buzzing with anticipation.
Campbell's absence from 'Scream VI' left fans disheartened, but the actress's candid discussion about feeling undervalued reveals a broader industry issue.
Her decision to stand up for equitable treatment led to a satisfying resolution with Spyglass Media Group, setting a precedent for fair compensation. "It just didn't make sense for me to walk on that set," Campbell stated, emphasizing the importance of self-worth and equality.
An undying love
The first 'Scream' was released in theaters nearly 30 years ago in 1996. "The fandom is nuts, they are incredible and very passionate about these films," she added. "I'm excited to give them a new one!"
The seventh 'Scream' film is set to begin production in December and is being directed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the screenplays for the films. Aside from Campbell, no other cast members have been confirmed for the sequel, and she remained coy when asked about other legacy characters returning with a cheeky "may-haps."
While Campbell remains tight-lipped about other legacy characters' returns, the possibility of seeing Courteney Cox and Patrick Dempsey reprise their roles adds to the sequel's allure.
Beyond Scream, Campbell is embracing a busy schedule with the third season of Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer and her documentary, Swan Song.
This project shines a light on the ballet world's challenges, blending Campbell's passions for acting and dance in a tribute to the art form's beauty and athleticism.
