Hello, Sidney!

It’s almost a Scream tradition—before every new installment, Neve Campbell keeps fans on edge, making them question whether she’ll return. And then, just when the suspense peaks, she confirms her comeback—to the absolute delight of horror fans everywhere.

“After spending time speaking with Radio Silence, they have shown such love, respect, and admiration for Wes Craven and all that he’s created in the Scream franchise. I am beyond excited to step back into the role of Sidney Prescott and return to Woodsboro.”

Campbell’s return cements Scream 5 as a true continuation of the iconic franchise, joining David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, and Jack Quaid in what’s shaping up to be a killer cast.

Radio Silence Reacts

The directing duo behind 2019’s Ready or Not, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known collectively as Radio Silence, are leading the charge for the next Scream. For them, bringing Campbell back is nothing short of a dream come true:

“We’re pinching ourselves! It’s hard to express how much the character Sidney Prescott shaped our love of movies, and to have the chance to work with Neve is truly a dream come true. It just wouldn’t be a Scream movie without Neve, and we’re so excited and honored to join her in Woodsboro.”

What’s Next for Sidney?

As the most resilient final girl in horror history, Sidney Prescott has faced Ghostface across four films, surviving against impossible odds. Scream 4 saw her stronger than ever—but will her luck finally run out in the next chapter?

With Scream 5 set to hit theaters on January 14, 2022, the next few months will be packed with bloody surprises, behind-the-scenes photos, and major reveals.

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning!
