‘Scream 7’ Drops Legacy TV Spot, Ghostface Targets Sidney Prescott’s Past — and Her Daughter

Ghostface resurfaces as Sidney Prescott’s legacy collides with a new generation.

Paramount and Spyglass Media have unveiled a new Legacy TV spot for Scream 7, and it wastes no time reminding audiences why this franchise has endured for nearly three decades. The teaser functions as both a tribute and a warning, moving through the faces and moments that defined the Scream saga before cutting to its most chilling beat yet: Ghostface calling Sidney Prescott once again.

This time, the threat isn’t just about unfinished business. Ghostface makes it clear that he’s after Sidney’s daughter, played by Isabelle May, now the same age Sidney was when the Woodsboro murders began. It’s a cruel symmetry, one that turns the franchise’s obsession with cycles, trauma, and repetition into its central weapon. What once felt like survival has become inheritance.

The spot leans heavily into nostalgia without feeling stagnant. Familiar imagery and characters flash by just long enough to trigger memory before the call reframes everything. This isn’t simply another Ghostface resurgence — it’s a reckoning with the past, one that suggests the killer may be someone Sidney knew long before the mask ever appeared.

Naturally, speculation is already running wild. The Legacy spot practically begs fans to revisit the original Scream and Scream 2, scanning high school hallways and party scenes for faces that slipped through the cracks. Longstanding theories surrounding Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher have resurfaced once again, especially given Lillard’s continued presence in modern horror and the franchise’s history of weaponizing audience expectations. Whether that theory holds weight or not, the teaser makes one thing clear: Ghostface’s connection to Sidney is deeply personal.

With Kevin Williamson back in the creative fold, the promise of a carefully constructed twist looms large. The Legacy spot doesn’t offer answers, only unease — the kind rooted in memory, regret, and the terrifying idea that the story was never really over.

If Scream 7 truly is positioning itself as a final chapter, this teaser suggests it won’t go quietly. Instead, it looks ready to turn the franchise inward, asking what happens when survival isn’t enough, and when the sins of the past come calling for the next generation.

The Legacy TV spot is now available to watch. Let us know what you think — and more importantly, who you think is behind the mask this time.
