Ghostface, the masked killer and scary movie expert, is making a comeback in a new film.
Scream 7, helmed by Kevin Williamson, revolves around Sidney Prescott-Evans (Neve Campbell), the central character of the film series. However, this time, it is her daughter Tatum (Isabel May) who becomes the target.
To shield her child, Sidney must uncover the individual behind the mask, with the assistance of daring journalist Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox).
As of now, the seventh installment of Scream has not garnered positive reviews, and audiences do not seem particularly excited.

When could Scream 7 be released on VOD?
Paramount Pictures, the distributor of the new Scream movie, has not disclosed any dates for its digital premiere. The digital release date will be influenced by the film’s performance at the box office.
Typically, successful Paramount films, such as Gladiator 2 or Smile 2, have become available on digital platforms 32 days after their theatrical debut.
However, some Paramount films have been available for rental or purchase at a later stage. For instance, The Naked Gun, which achieved moderate success, was released on VOD 60 days after its cinema debut. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which did not fare well given its budget, premiered on digital platforms a lengthy 88 days after its theatrical release.
We estimate that Scream 7 will be accessible on digital platforms in the US around Tuesday, 31 March 2026. Nevertheless, this is a mere speculation based on previous release patterns, and the film may potentially be available on VOD up to 2 or 3 months after its theatrical release.
The UK release date for the film on VOD may differ – previous releases have often been slightly later than in the US. We will provide updates as soon as more information is available.
When could Scream 7 be released on streaming services?
Following their digital release, most Paramount films are usually available on streaming platforms. The transition is usually swift – Gladiator 2 appeared on the platform just 28 days after its VOD premiere, while Smile 2 took only 14 days.
If our prediction holds true, Scream 7 may be streamed on Paramount+ between Tuesday, 14 April 2026 and Tuesday 28 April 2026.
However, it is important to note that these are predictions, and Paramount has not provided any official information on the matter. If the VOD release is delayed, the film may not be available on platforms until late spring/early summer 2026.
When will Scream 7 be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
Physical copies of the film are expected to be released last. The timeline for this release can vary based on the specific Paramount film. Gladiator 2 was released on DVD and Blu-ray 42 days after its streaming premiere, while Smile 2 and The Running Man took 49 days.
Therefore, it is possible that copies of Scream 7 will be available in stores in late May/early June 2026. However, there is also a chance that the release could be postponed to summer 2026.
