Alison Brie, known for her role as Rebecca Walters in Scream 4, has shared her thoughts on the revived franchise.
In a recent appearance on the Shut Up Evan Podcast with her husband Dave Franco, Brie jokingly asked about her potential return to the franchise, referencing the infamous “new Scream rules” that allow characters to come back from the dead.
Franco sparked the conversation, saying, “I feel like with new Scream rules, even though she dies brutally, we could bring her back.” Brie responded with a smile, “Yeah, where’s my role in Scream 7?”
The couple’s discussion highlights the franchise’s tendency to resurrect characters, including Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher, David Arquette’s Dewey Riley, and Scott Foley’s Roman Bridger, who will all return for the seventh installment.
Brie shared her thoughts on the current state of the Scream franchise, stating, “My problem with the current era of the Scream franchise is that too many people live.” She jokingly suggested that the core four characters should die, saying, “The core four needs to die! … We should be down to two of the core four by Scream 7.”
Franco chimed in, referencing Dewey’s death in the previous film, which Brie called a “mistake.”
Scream 7 is set to hit theaters on February 27, 2026, and will be directed by Kevin Williamson, the original writer of the franchise.
The film will also see the return of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott, who wasn’t in the last installment, Scream VI. With the franchise’s history of unexpected twists and turns, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s in store for the next chapter.
