Scream 8 is reportedly in the works, following the record-breaking box office success of Scream 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> said that Spyglass is working on Scream 8 with Poker Face co-showrunners Lilla and Nora Zuckerman writing.<\/p>\n

Scream 7 made over $200 million at the global box office, setting a record for the franchise in the process. The first Scream film made $173 million worldwide from theaters back in 1996, unadjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n

Nostalgia played a big part in Scream 7\u2019s success. Neve Campbell, who stars as franchise protagonist Sidney Prescott, returned for Scream 7 after skipping Scream 6 over a pay dispute. According to Variety<\/a>, Campbell secured a nearly $7 million deal for Scream 7, whereas Courteney Cox, who plays reporter and veteran murder spree survivor Gale Weathers, was paid $2 million.<\/p>\n

News of Scream 8 comes as little surprise, then. Speaking earlier this month, Scream 7 writer and director Kevin Williamson revealed Neve Campbell already had a \u201cgreat\u201d idea for Scream 8<\/a>, which he promised would be made as long as Scream 7 was a success. Well, that didn’t take long!<\/p>\n

IGN\u2019s Scream 7 review<\/a> returned a 6\/10. We said: \u201cScream 7 packs in plenty of satisfying slasher action, even if it gets a little too comfortable playing the hits (and deep cuts and killer tracks).\u201d Check out our Scream 7 ending explained<\/a> to find out what it all means for the future.<\/p>\n
