She is revealed to have returned to her life away from Woodsboro, and in the ten years since the events of Scream 4, she reconnected with and started a family with her now-husband, Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey), who she first met during the events of Scream 3, when he was a police detective investigating the murders ...
Sidney isn't killed off, as she is still married with three children following her move from Woodsboro at the end of Scream 4. Although the events of 2022's Scream allowed Sidney to reunite with both Gale and Dewey, she doesn't stay in Woodsboro for much longer.
Campbell, who had played Sidney Prescott in every Scream film to date, announced in June 2021 she had quit the sixth instalment as she wasn't getting paid what she thought she deserved. “Sadly, I won't be making the next Scream film,” Campbell said in a statement to Variety.
Sidney helped Tara get out alive in Scream 5 and there seemed to be a passing of the torch in that movie, even though it was not yet known that Sidney wouldn't return. From Tara's introduction in the opening scene of Scream 5, she felt like a worthy successor to Sidney Prescott as the hero of the Scream franchise.
The film takes place on the fifteenth anniversary of the original Woodsboro murders from Scream (1996) and involves Sidney Prescott (Campbell) returning to the town after ten years, where Ghostface once again begins killing students from Woodsboro High.
The REAL Reason Why Sidney Prescott and Neve Campbell Didn't Appear In Scream 6
How old was Sid in Scream?
Sidney Prescott's first cinematic appearance was in the film Scream (1996) as a 17-year-old high school senior in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California.
Horror film fanatics rejoice: Neve Campbell is coming back to the "Scream" franchise. On Tuesday, Campbell posted a picture to her verified Instagram showing the title page of a script for an "Untitled Scream 7" film, writing in the caption, "Sidney Prescott is coming back!"
The shocking reveal at the end of Scream 2022 shows that the killers are Tara's friend Amber and Sam's boyfriend Richie, who were motivated by continuing the Stab franchise.
In Scream 3, Roman seeks revenge for what he sees as his mother's rejection and abandonment by engineering Maureen's death and trying to kill Sidney, seeing her as having the family-life he was denied.
Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry were revealed as the killers at the end of Scream 6. Their motive was revenge for Detective Bailey's son's death.
Troubled horror sequel Scream VII has been thrown into further chaos as the film's director said he has quit, following the departures of stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega.
Parents need to know that Scream VI is the sixth movie in the meta horror-slasher franchise, following the characters who were introduced in 2022's "re-quel," Scream. It's pretty brutal, but thanks to strong character interactions and a good mystery story, it succeeds.
In Scream, a killer taunts Sidney on the phone about her mother's murder; this killer is later identified as Sidney's boyfriend Billy Loomis and his friend Stu Macher. Billy reveals that it was he and Stu who raped and murdered Maureen and framed Cotton for it.
Sidney was haunted by her mother's death, but eventually discovered the truth: that Maureen really did sleep around, and that she was killed by Billy and Stu shortly after Cotton had sex with her. After intimacy with Billy, she looks at him as he is very adamant to her that he isn't a killer.
It is revealed that Billy held hatred inside for Sidney, but stayed in the relationship to stay close to her to execute his plan of revenge for his mother abandoning him. Meanwhile, he cheated on Sidney with other girls at and around school.
Not that Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) was very pleased to find out that the guy she'd lost her virginity to - Billy - mere minutes prior was a serial killer.
After the guests leave, Stu and Billy reveal their plan to Sidney, including how they are going to frame her father, Neil Prescott. Billy and Stu begin to stab each other to make themselves look like the victims of their scapegoat.
In Scream 2, Billy's mother became Ghostface as she sought revenge on Sidney for killing Billy. Later on, Scream (2022) revealed that Billy apparently cheated on Sidney shortly before the original kill spree and unknowingly had a daughter, Sam Carpenter.
Though the seventh film is still in the works, the franchise has hit a bump in the road as it has been reported that several cast members will no longer return for the sequel.
However, after much struggle, she dies by getting trapped in a garage door. This makes her the first Scream character to not be murdered by a knife. Tatum's constant presence in Sidney's life threatens Billy's plans. Hence, she has to be eliminated for his plan to succeed.
Arquette played the staple character of Dewey Riley in the series. Dewey was killed off in the fifth film, leaving die-hard fans reeling at his loss. In a plot twist in Scream 5, Ghostface – the iconic series antagonist – slaughters Arquette's Dewey.
Speaking to Collider in 2022, Williamson debunked all theories and rumors about Stu's survival and said that Stu is dead, and Lillard's sneaky cameos in other Scream movies are unrelated to Stu.
Before Scream 7 went through a whole creative reset, Billy was expected to return in Scream 7 as there are many unanswered questions about Sam and her link to Billy. However, now that Barrera is no longer part of Scream 7, bringing Billy back wouldn't make sense as Sam was the one who had hallucinations of him.
It was then reported that Jenna Ortega won't be in "Scream 7" because of "Wednesday" season two. Variety reported Ortega won't take part due to scheduling conflicts with the second season of Netflix's huge hit "Wednesday."
