‘I Don’t Think So’: David Arquette Responds To Rumors About His Cameo In Upcoming Scream 7

by

As a dedicated fan of the Scream franchise, I was deeply saddened to hear that David Arquette will not be returning for Scream 7, despite fans’ hopes for even a cameo appearance. Arquette brought Dewey Riley to life in five installments of the series, and his absence leaves a significant gap in the narrative. His recent statement on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen further confirmed that he has not received any calls regarding his return.

David Arquette dashes hopes of his character’s return to the Scream franchise!

For five consecutive movies in the slasher horror franchise, the actor portrayed Dewey Riley. Regrettably, Arquette’s character met his end in the 2022 Scream film, leaving fans with the hope that he might make a reappearance through a flashback or dream sequence. Sadly, this will not come to pass.

 

David Arquette will not be returning for Scream 7

As a die-hard fan of the Scream franchise, I’ve been absolutely ecstatic about the recent success of Scream VI. In 2023, this terrifying installment smashed box office records with its biggest opening weekend yet for the entire series! What a thrilling ride it has been to witness the continued growth and excitement surrounding this iconic horror franchise.

During an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on July 21, a fan asked the actor, known for his role in the film series, about the possibility of his character making a comeback in any form, as excitement builds for the seventh installment.

He chuckled and responded, “I’m not so sure – to be honest, I’m uncertain!”. Regarding the possibility of the sequel, he added, “There might be a chance, but I haven’t received any contact or information yet.” Furthermore, Neve Campbell, who portrayed Sidney Prescott in the past films, did not disclose any details about the upcoming project.

In April 2023, Arquette shared with Variety that he experienced a pang of regret for not being part of the sixth installment of the film series, which included Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera. He found it difficult to stay away but was eager to watch it. Ultimately, he expressed his enjoyment of the production.

Neve Campbell’s return to Scream 7

I, as a devoted fan of Sidney Prescott’s character from the “Scream” series, was surprised and saddened to notice her absence in the sixth film, despite the return of Courtney Cox. In the summer of 2022, I learned that Neve Campbell, the talented actress behind Sidney, had chosen to step away from the project. She graciously shared her reasons for departing through a public statement.

As a devoted follower and contributor to this beloved franchise, I couldn’t help but feel deeply disappointed when I received an offer that fell short of acknowledging the significant worth I’ve added to the team.

In March 2024, she announced through a statement her plans to rejoin the “Sidney” franchise for its seventh installment after the departures of Barrera and Ortega. Speaking with People magazine in May, she expressed her appreciation for having spent three decades with the character, sharing, “I’m truly thankful for the opportunity to return.”

The exact date for the release of Scream 7 has not been announced yet, but we can expect it to come out towards the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025.
