The movies would've been all about Sidney.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Original Scream franchise writer Kevin Williamson reveals that he initially had a very different story in mind for Sidney Prescott in Scream 4, 5, and 6. Introduced in Wes Craven's 1996 franchise-starter, Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott has played a crucial role in five out of the six movies in the franchise.

In a recent interview on the Happy Horror Time podcast , Williamson reveals that, if he had written 2022's Scream and this year's Scream 6, he would've taken Sidney's story in a different direction. According to Williamson, the movies would have been more focused on Sidney's romantic life. Check out his full comment below:

“Scream IV, V, and VI, would have been [about] the love story of Sidney Prescott, and it would’ve been this whole thing of she’s falling in love, she’s going to get married, it’s all based around her marriage when these murders start happening again.

It's not clear why Williamson didn't get to go with his original plan for Scream 4, but the latest two sequels, especially, would've been drastically affected by this new trajectory. Williamson seemingly had no intention of playing 2022's Scream as a "requel" and introducing younger stars to serve as the main focus of the franchise moving forward.

2022's Scream reveals through dialogue that Sidney married Patrick Dempsey's Mark Kincaid, who was introduced the third movie in 2000. While Williamson doesn't specify, it seems likely that the story he had planned would see Sidney falling in love with an entirely new character who is far more mysterious.
