Stu Macher died in the original Scream, and while this may hurt most characters' chances of returning, it didn't stop Billy Loomis from appearing as an apparition to his daughter. While it's still possible that Stu Macher could reutrn in a similar way, Scream 6's story makes this entirely pointless.
With Scream 6 confirming that Stu is dead, it obviously means that he's not one of the killers in the latest movie in the series. The answer as to who the Scream 6 killers are is somewhat complicated, as the movie starts with two potential Ghostface killers only to kill them off and go with a new trio of killers.
Williamson has since weighed in on the Stu Macher is still alive debate, confirming that he is very much dead. Despite being an executive producer on the last two movies, Williamson hasn't written a movie in the franchise since the underrated Scream 4.
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.
The film has now, without a shadow of a doubt, confirmed that Stu is believed to be dead in-universe. That means the only way he could be alive is to have faked his death and be hidden away.
Summary. Neve Campbell returns for Scream 7, directed by Kevin Williamson, meaning Stu Macher can no longer return. Kevin Williamson debunked theories about Stu Macher's survival, making his return in Scream 7 unlikely. Scream 7 risks overcrowding with legacy characters and should focus on the new generation.
The absence of Sam and Tara's story in Scream 7 makes it unclear how the series will continue. The departure of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega leaves numerous mysteries surrounding Sam and Tara unresolved.
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."
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.
Kirby appears again in Scream VI, now an FBI special agent and living in Atlanta. She works alongside Detective Bailey to investigate the latest attacks made by the Ghostface killer, acknowledging her previous attack by Charlie Walker in 2011.
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.
The actress announced in a statement last June that she would not appear in Scream VI due to a salary dispute. "Sadly, I won't be making the next Scream film," Campbell said. "As a woman, I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream.
This was the problem facing Scream 6's Billy Loomis cameo, which saw Scream actor Skeet Ulrich reprise his role as the original movie's villain for the second time in 2 movies. Like Scream 2022, Scream 6 featured numerous scenes where Melissa Barrera's heroine Sam Carpenter imagined her father Billy speaking to her.
Barrera played Sam Carpenter, the daughter of original Ghostface killer Billy Loomis, in 2022's “Scream” and 2023's “Scream 6”—and was fired after Spyglass Media Group deemed her social media posts on the Israel-Hamas war as antisemitic. Another star, Jenna Ortega, also departed on Nov.

There's still hope for Stu." However, despite all of that, Scream writer Kevin Williamson spoke to Collider in 2022 and confirmed that Stu is dead, for real.
In Scream (2022), it is revealed that Billy cheated on Sidney during the events of the first film, fathered a daughter named Sam Carpenter (whom he wasn't aware of) and appears in her visions throughout the film and Scream VI, encouraging her to fight back against the killers trying to murder her, and thus the ...
