For the first time in the franchise’s 25-year history, Sidney Prescott will NOT be appearing in one of Scream’s feature films.
Neve Campbell, the actress behind the series’ lead character, has shared a statement with Deadline to confirm she won’t be appearing in Scream 6, which is slated to release next March.
“Sadly I won’t be making the next Scream film. As a woman, I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream.
I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise. It’s been a very difficult decision to move on.
To all my Scream fans, I love you. You’ve always been so incredibly supportive to me. I’m forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years.”- Neve Campbell
Neve’s departure from the film will make Courteney Cox the only actor from the 1996 original to appear in the next instalment.
