After surviving five encounters with Ghostfaces past, Neve Campbell decided her Scream VI offer wasn’t worth another brush with death.
The actress explained that after stepping back from the franchise in 2022, she was surprised to be reprising her role as Sidney Prescott again in Scream 7, which premieres February 27 in theaters.
“When I made that decision, I just didn’t think I could live with myself walking on set,” she said on CBS Mornings. “I just didn’t feel right. I just knew that my value to this franchise was bigger than what had been offered. For me, I needed to make that choice.”
Campbell continued, “When I said goodbye to it, I thought that was it. I knew that there was a good chance that would be it.”
When asked if she was Ok with that decision, Campbell explained, “Well, I had to be. I mean, I was sad.
