Scream 7 Rumor Claims A Legacy Character Has A Very Big Role, And As A Fan I Hope It’s True

Scream 7 Rumor Claims A Legacy Character Has A Very Big Role, And As A Fan I Hope It’s True

As a seasoned horror enthusiast who’s been through the blood-soaked rollercoaster of the Scream franchise since its inception, I can’t help but feel a palpable sense of anticipation for the upcoming Scream 7. The return of Sidney Prescott, the iconic heroine portrayed by the indomitable Neve Campbell, is certainly a sight for sore eyes. But what truly sets my heart racing is the potential comeback of one of my all-time favorites – Kirby Reed.


For quite some time now, the horror genre has been undergoing a remarkable revival, bringing joy to its devoted followers. Many of the top-tier horror films have made a comeback in cinemas with fresh sequels, such as Wes Craven’s “Scream.” In the works for a seventh installment is this classic series, with Neve Campbell reprising her role as franchise lead Sidney Prescott. A buzz surrounds the upcoming horror movie, suggesting that a significant character from the Scream legacy may play a pivotal role. As an ardent fan, I truly hope this rumor proves to be accurate.

Information about Scream 7 remains scarce since production and casting are currently ongoing for this upcoming slasher film. Fans are excited to see Sidney return following her absence in Scream VI, which is available with a Paramount+ subscription. Additionally, there’s speculation among fans regarding which other original characters might make an appearance. A report suggests that Hayden Panettiere could reprise her role as Kirby Reed, with indications of a more significant part for her character compared to the previous movie. As one of my all-time favorite characters, I truly hope this rumor is accurate.

Supporters petitioned for Kirby’s comeback in Scream 6, which brought joy to Hayden Panettiere. The fate of her character was disputed since Scream 4, and it was only confirmed last year that she survived. Given that she escaped death in the last movie, it seems plausible for her to reappear in the upcoming installment. Additionally, if Kirby had a supporting role and served as a suspect for the killer in the sixth film, it would be exciting to see her potentially take on an even larger part in the next one.

In the latest Scream movie, Kirby and Gale had some scenes together, but Neve Campbell’s absence from Scream VI meant that her character, Sidney, didn’t appear. If a rumor is true, they will both be on screen together again in the seventh film. And if Kirby has a more significant role this time, their reunion seems even more natural.

There’s been talk circulating on the internet suggesting that following the release of Scream 7, there could possibly be a spinoff featuring Kirby. For now, this seems dubious, but it underscores just how beloved Hayden Panettiere’s character from Woodsboro is among fans like myself.

Given that Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega won’t feature in Scream 7, it seems likely that more established characters might return to take on Ghostface. Alongside Kirby, I’m eagerly anticipating the possible comeback of Patrick Dempsey as Mark Kincaid, who is Sidney’s husband and the father of her kids in the series. There have been whispers about his potential return to the role he played in Scream 3, but no definitive announcements have been made by Paramount yet.

As I pen down this tale, “Scream 7” hasn’t been assigned a specific release date yet. In the meantime, keep an eye on the 2025 movie calendar to discover which films you’d like to catch at the cinema.
