They successfully directed both the 2022 release of Scream and the recently released Scream VI, which achieved record-breaking domestic box office numbers for the franchise.

Building on the previous film's triumph, THR has confirmed that Scream 7 is now moving forward. This time, Christopher Landon, the acclaimed filmmaker responsible for horror hits like the Happy Death Day films and Freaky, will be taking on the directorial duties of the upcoming installment.
