Scream 8 is officially moving forward, with Poker Face's Zuckerman Sisters tapped to write the next chapter of the horror saga.
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Do you like scary movies? Of course you do, but to say the most recent chapter in the long-beloved Scream saga was divisive is the understatement of the year.
Scream 7 was already off to a rough start with the highly controversial firing of Melissa Barrera and the later departure of co-star Jenna Ortega and director Christopher Landon. The end result from original franchise creator Kevin Williamson was heavily criticized by both fans and critics for prioritizing nostalgia over the scares, mystery, and satire that the series is so well-known for. Still, divisiveness aside, Scream 7 was a monumental success at the box office, and now, Scream 8 has taken its first official step forward as writers Lilla and Nora Zuckerman have been tapped by Spyglass to pen the next chapter, according to a new report.If the Zuckerman Sisters sound familiar, that's because they were responsible for helping bring the Rian Johnson-created Poker Face, one of the best murder mystery shows in recent memory, to life as both writers and showrunners. The 2-Season mystery series was highly acclaimed for its unique approach to the genre and Natasha Lyonne's gripping performance, but the show was still cancelled by Peacock, followed by the surprising plan to shop a new version of the series that swapped Natasha Lyonne with Peter Dinklage. in addition to Poker Face, the Zuckermans have also previously worked on other notable shows like Suits, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Fringe. 5 10 Scream 7 Like Follow Followed R Horror Mystery Release Date February 27, 2026 Runtime 114 Minutes Director Kevin Williamson Writers Kevin Williamson, Guy Busick, James Vanderbilt Producers William Sherak, Paul Neinstein Cast See All
