Scream 8 is reportedly under development, following the unexpected box office success of Scream 7 with the film crossing $200 million globally.
According to Deadline, Spyglass is currently engaged in the production of Scream 8, with Poker Face co-showrunners Lilla and Nora Zuckerman assigned to write the script.
Earlier this month, Kevin Williamson, the writer and director of Scream 7, disclosed that Neve Campbell had already thought of a “great” idea for Scream 8, which he assured would be produced provided that Scream 7 achieved commercial success.
Scream 7 grossed over $200 million at the worldwide box office, establishing a new record for the franchise.
The original Scream film earned $173 million globally from theaters in 1996, not accounting for inflation.
Starting on Tuesday, March 31 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (which corresponds to March 30, at 9 p.m. Pacific Time), Scream 7 will be available for digital purchase on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and other platforms.
Currently, Scream 7 is not available for streaming on any subscription-based services; however, it is expected to soon be available for streaming on Paramount+, as it is a Paramount film.
Zuckerman sisters selected as writers for Scream 8
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman, commonly referred to as the Zuckerman sisters, have been appointed as writers for Scream 8, the latest installment in the enduring slasher franchise established by Kevin Williamson.
