Neve Campbell has confirmed that she will return as Sidney Prescott in Scream 8, which is currently in development at Spyglass Media. The actress revealed her involvement during an Associated Press interview at the Season 2 premiere of Netflix's Black Doves. Campbell returned to the horror franchise earlier this year in Scream 7, which grossed $208 million worldwide against a $45 million production budget.

Writers Lilla and Nora Zuckerman are preparing the screenplay for the eighth installment. Kevin Williamson, who directed Scream 7, will serve as a producer on the upcoming film.
