The official Scream 7 runtime has been revealed for Paramount Pictures‘ highly anticipated next installment to its long-running slasher franchise. Featuring the return of franchise vets Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, the movie is scheduled to arrive in theaters on February 27, 2026.

“When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target,” reads the official synopsis. “Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.”

What is the Scream 7 runtime?

According to AMC Theaters, Scream 7 will officially have a total runtime of 114 minutes, or approximately 1 hour and 55 minutes, which is the same length as 2022’s Scream. The upcoming movie is still shorter than the runtimes of the other installments, including Scream 3 (115 minutes), Scream 2 (160 minutes), and Scream VI (163 minutes). The Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera-led 2023 sequel remains the longest movie of the iconic horror franchise, while 1996’s Scream still has the shortest runtime at 111 minutes.

Scream 7 also stars Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Joel McHale, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Tim Simons, and Mark Consuelos. Franchise creator Kevin Williamson is directing the seventh installment from a screenplay he co-wrote with Guy Busick. It is produced by William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein.

The next installment is also expected to feature the shocking return of franchise vets Matthew Lillard, Scott Foley, and David Arquette. They are set to reprise their roles as Stu Macher, Roman Bridger, and Dewey Riley despite their characters’ respective deaths in 1996’s Scream, 2000’s Scream 3, and 2022’s Scream.
