Since the writer\/producer\/director said that Scream 6 <\/em>was a “fresh reinvention,” it’s possible that Kevin Williamson’s involvement in Scream 7<\/em> means the horror sequel will explore a brand new direction<\/strong>. After the ending of Scream 6<\/em><\/a>, which sees The Core Four and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) in a good place after beating yet another Ghostface, it definitely feels like it’s time for a unique perspective on the slasher franchise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
While Scream 7<\/em>‘s plot details remain mysterious and Neve Campbell is the only returning cast member<\/a> as of now, the fact that Williamson liked how different Scream 6 <\/em>was could suggest a few things about Scream 7<\/em>. Fans can possibly expect new characters, a memorable opening kill sequence<\/a>, and perhaps a new twist on Ghostface<\/strong>. At this point, the sky is the limit and there could be a handful of Ghostface killers or even just one, which would be quite the departure. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Although Kevin Williamson, who directed Teaching Mrs. Tingle<\/em><\/a> in the 1990s, isn’t a writer on Scream 7<\/em>, he has been creatively involved with many Scream <\/em>movies. It’s possible that since he has been a huge part of the slasher franchise since the beginning, he has shared his opinion on at least a few plot points. If he liked that Scream 6 <\/em>felt like a creative departure, then it’s possible to assume that he and the others involved with Scream 7 <\/em>want the same thing for the next installment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Williamson also told SYFY WIRE that he was a fan of Radio Silence, who made Scream (2022) <\/em>and Scream 6<\/em>. He said: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Radio Silence is amazing, they\u2019re the perfect people to take the torch. I love Scream
