‘Scream 7' Is Getting a Time Jump From the Franchise's Previous Installments
As original film scribe Kevin Williamson takes the helm of a Scream film for the first time, he's bringing it all together with Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) as they encounter ghosts of friends and ghostfaces past, including David Arquette, Scott Foley, and Matthew Lillard.
Some of the Scream reboot core cast also remains, with Mason Gooding and Jasmine Savoy reprising their roles as the Meeks twins But now there's the development that the film will jump ahead in time for a 'really cool reason' as shared by the film's writer Guy Busick to ComicBook.com.
Busick continued to elaborate why the movie has become a Sidney-centered story, making the series' original final girl once again the lead.
'I don't want to give anything away about the reason [Scream 7] had to be a Sidney movie because there's a really cool reason,' Busick told ComicBook. 'In all these movies, you have to ask, 'Why now? What is the thing Scream is commenting on now?' Scream is always in a conversation with the audience about the state of movies, the state of horror movies and in particular, franchises.'
He shared that her participation was tantamount to the new installment's themes. 'We went to Neve Campbell and said, 'This is why. This is why Sidney now.' Neve was like, 'Oh, I get that.' I pitched Kevin [Williamson] this first, too. He got it and then I pitched the studio.'
He added that the new movie will not be set in New York, as the previous film was. It will also feature a time jump.
'I don't want to be the one to spoil where it is,' Busick said; he also was vague on the time shift, but for seemingly less spoiler-y reasons. 'It's an unspecified amount of time [after Scream VI]. I might get contradicted by other people, but in my mind, more than two years. I would say at least two years. It could be two years, but I would say two years plus.'
Many are rightfully mad that Melissa Barrera was controversially pushed out of leading the franchise's rebirth, and the repercussions of that might affect the interest with this particular sequel. It remains to be seen if bringing back so many past characters will be enough to compensate for perhaps wrongfully abandoning the Carpenter sisters storyline.
In the meantime we'll be wondering if it's back to Woodsboro we go! Scream 7 will hit theaters February 27, 2026.

WWE Raw results, highlights (Aug. 18): Naomi announces pregnancy, relinquishes title
The Women's World title scene has to hit the reset button after "WWE Raw" in Philadelphia. Last week, the champion Naomi was set to defend her title against the former champion Iyo Sky, until she was declared medically unfit to compete earlier in the day. On Monday night, it was revealed why. The best pregnancy announcement of all time? There was a hunch that Naomi would miss a significant amount of time, and that will be the case, as she and Jimmy Uso are officially expecting a child. However, Naomi halted her early character-breaking to maintain her heel work and kicked "Raw" general manager Adam Pearce out of the ring. This was hilarious, and the Women's World Champion did her best to keep it up, but the crowd's chants were making it difficult for her not to break character. Ultimately, she delivered another excellent promo, bragging that she "Netflix and chilled" while warning the roster that she'll be coming for her belt nine months and some change from now. So, now it's about figuring out where to go from here. Admittedly, this couldn't be any more perfect for Stephanie Vaquer, who already had her title shot coming up at Clash in Paris. She already felt like the favorite to get the nod, at least in my eyes, but now, how does WWE not put the title on her ASAP? Nonetheless, she needs to be put back on TV. This feels like a fairly solid opportunity to introduce the teased "new" Bayley into the fold. Still, it's challenging to pinpoint which direction the company will take when Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky are pursuing their own paths. More on that later. EC Dub, EC Dub, EC Dub Seth Rollins' "Vision" kicking off shows just to introduce themselves has gotten tired very, very quickly. What wasn't tired was being in Philadelphia with Paul Heyman, who channeled plenty of references to days past when he ran the land of extreme, ECW. Once interrupted by Jey Uso (because he was wrestling Bron Breakker in the main event), Heyman called back to several ECW legends, ranging from Sabu to New Jack to Rob Van Dam, and even Tommy Dreamer, who took some wild shots. Uso's mic work was, as usual, mediocre, and this segment primarily served as a means to build up to the Breakker match later on, which was adjusted to "Extreme Rules." Talk about an easy way to prevent a DQ. That didn't mean it wasn't obvious what was going to happen. Overbooking, predictability, stupidity There is still no good reason, in kayfabe, why The Vision wouldn't just come out immediately for matches their members are in, especially in matches without disqualifications. Regardless, they did — because, of course, they did. But thanks to Roman Reigns, CM Punk and LA Knight, Uso still got the win. Alright, where do we even start? How about with Uso looking like a complete moron in-story? After two spears and a handful of healthy chair shots, Uso went for a Uso Splash rather than the pin. That was the catalyst to have Bronson Reed pull the referee out of the ring (and his shoes) to incite the most predictable overbooking imaginable, as everyone already mentioned (along with Rollins) arrived on the scene. This was the most moderate, half-hearted, and borderline uncreative way to avoid doing the awful DQ finishes. Breakker and Uso are good together. They always have been. There has been no good reason for Uso to be shoehorned into this, though. The Vision can't be a long-term stable, otherwise they will quickly reach Death Riders territory, if they haven't already for some viewers. (They're still the "Seth Riders" to me, dang it.) Sky is still the limit Raquel Rodriguez deserves better, especially after her match against Iyo Sky, which she lost clean via an Over the Moonsault after Sky took out Roxanne Perez — who beat Sky by roll-up last Monday. Sure, that was because of the mix-up with The Kabuki Warriors, but Rodriguez is a great talent in her own right. I've been pushing for her to get better treatment, so at least the loss came to the former champ, and WWE's very best. This match was excellent, and some of the highlights saw Rodriguez counter a Sky suicide dive, rolling with her and launching her into the ring post. Sky simply can do no wrong right now. She could wrestle a broom and make it awesome. Ultimately, this match is seemingly going to lead to where I want to see it go: A Sky alliance with Rhea Ripley, who made the save after the match when Perez attacked. Sky admittedly erupted after being overwhelmed by The Kabuki Warriors and Ripley arguing backstage, but this is the easiest path to bolstering the tag team division that one could ask for. Especially when it's so desperately needed, considering The Secret Hervice stood tall over Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair on "SmackDown." 🍦 Nerf of the Night WWE essentially mentioned Natalya's outside wrestling appearances just to bury them. If Killer Kross' departure was any evidence of it, WWE really doesn't want wrestlers to get over on their own. Natalya felt that in full force when she lost a relatively quick title match against Becky Lynch. Not only that, she tapped to the Disarmher, which is the complete opposite of what her "Lowkey Legend" character would have done — even with the worked-in arm injury she was selling. It would have been cool to see Natalya get the win here, regardless of what she could do with that outside WWE character. But either way, the contrast of the Intercontinental title is stark to the U.S. on "SmackDown." Lynch went on to attack Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa, which progressed toward Lynch vs. Nikki Bella, who made the save and stood tall over Lynch. It's whatever, but no one should be expecting Lynch to lose that match. 👍 MONDAY NIGHT MONEY 👍 1. Penta pinned Xavier Woods after he hit a Mexican Destroyer. There were some New Day shenanigans, but it was a good, wholesome match. Let's please get Penta doing something of significance now because The New Day have practically become low-key heel jobbers. 2. Another Bayley vignette progressed what appears to be an impending evolution — or descent into madness. These have been excellent so far, and really hit on Bayley's past gimmicks. 3. Angry Pearce is the best Pearce, as he screamed backstage to separate Rusev and Sheamus to announce their Donnybrook match at Clash in Paris. When examining their matches so far, it's safe to assume that it will be absolute madness. 👎 RAW DEAL 👎 1. Uso's promos still include him mentioning "tapping out Gunther." This. Is. Insane. It's almost as if Triple H wants to bury Gunther, but knows he can't or something. Are we supposed to completely forget that Gunther beat Uso clean the last time they wrestled? Hence why Uso is no longer the champion. What is this, man? Why is this being hung onto? 2. Unless there were some mic issues, the Philadelphia crowd was painfully silent for Sky's entrance — a shameful reaction for the best wrestler in this company. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 It's nice to see that DQs are starting to fade, or at least occur less frequently. When they do, we get to see seriously epic matches like The Judgment Day vs. Mr. Iguana and Dragon Lee. Everyone involved in this match worked together wonderfully, but specifically, JD McDonagh and Lee. Some of the sequences they delivered ruled. To the extent that the limited story depth was here, it didn't matter. Iguana is just good, over wrestling fun, no matter the ring he's in. Aside from being fun all around, it furthered the interconnection with AAA and Dominick Mysterio's upcoming world title match against El Hijo del Vikingo. If chaos is going to ensue, it can happen after the match is over. This was great. 👑 This might have been a much better show on the scoring scale than I'm giving it credit for, but it ultimately just didn't feel that exciting or entertaining, despite some very solid matches. I give this show a Crown score of: 6.5/10. 👑

‘It Ends With Us' Star Isabela Ferrer Claims Justin Baldoni Harassed Her Amid Blake Lively Legal Fight
Isabela Ferrer — who played a younger version of Blake Lively's character Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us — has accused the film's director and co-star Justin Baldoni of trying to 'manipulate, threaten, control' her after Lively sent Ferrer a subpoena as part of the ongoing Lively-Baldoni legal battle. In a court document filed Sunday in Southern District Court of New York and obtained by Rolling Stone, Ferrer's legal team said that after Baldoni referenced Ferrer in his complaint against Lively, Ferrer was dragged into the 'discovery fray' in February 2025 when she received a subpoena from Lively to review Baldoni's allegations about Ferrer. The filing states that in reply, Ferrer sought indemnity to have her legal fees covered as mandated in her acting contract. More from Rolling Stone Del Records CEO Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Violating Kingpin Act Sean Kingston Sentenced to 42 Months in Prison for Fraud Scheme Topping $1 Million Judge Slashes Sara Rivers' Lawsuit Against Sean Combs Ferrer also requested extensions from Lively in order to allow enough time to respond to the subpoena until the indemnity issue was resolved. At this point, Ferrer alleges that in a response letter from It Ends, LLC and Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios, It Ends, LLC agreed to indemnify Ferrer but only on the 'serious' condition that Ferrer 'surrender control [of her response] to Wayfarer.' The 'Baldoni team sought to respond for Ms. Ferrer however they wanted, not actually allowing Ms. Ferrer to provide the documents that reveal the true facts,' the filing alleged. Ferrer's lawyers called Baldoni's recent motion against her an attempt to 'harass' Ferrer and 'draw her deeper into litigation and disputes that she has done her best to avoid.' In the filing, Ferrer's attorneys said the motion was 'another attempt to manipulate the press, to create havoc on a young, up-and-coming and talented actress,' and 'the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms. Ferrer.' Ferrer asked the court to deny Baldoni's motion and to 'consider appropriate sanctions against Baldoni for his bad faith tactics.' Reps for Lively and Baldoni did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's requests for comment. Following the release of It Ends With Us in summer 2024, Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni alleging he sexually harassed her on set and orchestrated a smear campaign against her. In May, Baldoni's legal team withdrew his subpoena against Lively as part of their ongoing legal battle against Lively. Baldoni later countersued Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane for $400 million, which a judge tossed out earlier this year, as well as dismissing Baldoni's suit against The New York Times.
