The development follows the success of Scream 7, released Feb. 27, which became the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning more than $200 million worldwide. It was also the first installment to be released in Imax theaters.
Scream 7 marked the return of Williamson, who stepped into the director’s chair. The film also saw the return of its final girl, Neve Campbell — who did not appear in Scream VI due to salary disputes — and her teenage daughter Tatum (Isabel May), who is targeted by Ghostface. The screenplay was co-written by Williamson and Guy Busick (Ready or Not films, Abigail).
Earlier this month, Williamson made headlines saying he likely won’t direct Scream 8. “For the next Scream, I’ll probably step back and just be a part of the family again,” he told Hello Sidney.
Shortly after the film premiered, Anna Camp, who appeared in Scream 7, told THR she heard chatter about another installment. When asked, she said: “Just rumors, just rumors. I haven’t heard from anyone specifically that I worked with, like Kevin or Neve but I’ve heard the rumors going around that there’s a Scream 8.”
Additional cast members included Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Isabel May, Michelle Randolph, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Jimmy Tatro, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner.
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman are repped by UTA and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark.
