After facing significant problems and delays, Scream 7 has finally gone on floors and the first picture from the sets have been released. Following the first day of shoot, the filmmaker praised the support of his crew and remembered late director Wes Craven.

Kevin is returning to the Scream franchise as a director after a gap of almost 15 years from his last release Scream 4. He served as the writer and producer for the film.

Taking to his social media handles, the Scream 7 director shared a post after wrapping the filming for the day. He called it the 'best day' of his life and expressed gratitude to late director Wes Craven.

The star-studded cast of Scream 7 includes Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, and Anna Camp. While Neve Campbell is set to return as scream queen Sidney Prescott, Mason Gooding reprises his role as her fellow Ghostface killer, survivor Chad Meeks-Martin. Debutant Isabel May plays Sidney's daughter. Courtney Cox is set to reprise her role as Gale Weathers.

The project has been revamped following the departure of star Jenna Ortega, the firing of actor Melissa Barrera and the exit of director Christopher Landon last year.

The 2022 Scream reboot's producers, James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak, are producing the film under the banner Project X Entertainment. The makers are yet to disclose its plot details.

Scream 7 is slated for a February 27, 2026, release through Paramount Pictures.
