Scream Eight's Fresh Female Writers: Zuckerman Sisters Take Helm

On March 31st, Scream 8 is gearing up with fresh riders on board.

Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman are pinning the screenplay, marking the first time women

lead the script for the Slasher series.

Kevin Williamson, who directed Scream 7 and wrote the original back in 1996, plus three

others, won't return for writing duties.

These sisters bring serious TV chops.

They just ran show for Peacock's poker face and have credits on hits like Agents of

SHIELD, Prodigal Son, Suits, Haven, Human Target, and Fringe.

This is their debut in theaters, though Nora did a TV movie years ago.

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer might recognize their names too.

They wrote and produced the pilot for a shelved Hulu revival called New Sunnydale, bringing

back Sarah Michelle Geller, with Chloe Jar directing.

Hulu scrapped it after filming wrapped.

Meanwhile, Scream 7 faced the roughest reviews in franchise history at 31% on Ron Tomatoes

and 35 out of 100 on.

Metacritic.

Still, it smashed box office records, pulling in over $200 million worldwide.

With strong female leads like Cindy Prescott and Sam Carpenter at the core, the Zuckerman's

could shake things up for Scream 8's next chapter in.

This killer legacy.
