Scream Eight Welcomes First Female Writers

0:00On March 31, Scream 8 is gearing up with fresh riders on board. Sisters Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are pinning the screenplay, marking the first time women have taken their role in the franchise. Kevin Williamson, who directed Scream 7, and wrote the original back in 1996 plus three others, is stepping back from scripting this. 1. These sisters bring serious TV chops. They just ran show for Peacock's poker face, and they've got credits on hits, like Agents of SHIELD, Prodigal Sun, Suits, 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 revival called New Sunnydale on Hulu, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar with Chloe Zau directing. It got shot but never aired. The series has always centered strong women like Sydney Prescott and Sam Carpenter, so this higher feels right on brand. Meanwhile, Neve Campbell is back after skipping Scream 6 over pay issues, teaming with Williamson for Scream 7.
