Courteney Cox will be starring in the Scream franchise after Neve Campbell announced her return.
According to Variety, the 59-year-old actress is in talks to reprise her role as Gale Weathers in the seventh part of the horror franchise, alongside Neve’s titular character of Sydney Prescott.
The news comes just two weeks after the 50-year-old actress took to her Instagram account and announced, “I’m so excited to announce this news!!! Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!!”
Sharing a picture of the script, she added, “It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies.”
Neve first played the lead role in the first installment of Scream in 1996, and later returned for each of the sequels except for the sixth part, released in 2023.
She revealed in 2022 that she made the " difficult decision" to not reprise her role due to a contractual disagreement.
As for Courteney, she has starred in every single one of Scream movies.
