The ghostface killer may be gone, but the Scream franchise is still very much alive. And in a surprising turn of events, it seems like no one is ever truly dead in the world of Scream. David Arquette, best known for his role as Deputy Dewey Riley, will be returning for the highly anticipated Scream 7. But that’s not all, Scott Foley and Matthew Lillard will also be making a comeback despite their characters meeting their untimely demise in previous installments of the franchise.

Fans were left in shock and awe when they saw the news, wondering how these characters could possibly come back from the dead. And while details regarding the plot and the resurrection of these beloved characters are being kept under wraps, one thing is for sure – Scream 7 is shaping up to be the ultimate reunion for fans.

But this isn’t the first time the Scream franchise has surprised fans with the resurrection of a character. In Scream 4, Kirby (played by Hayden Panettiere) was seemingly killed off, only to make a shocking return in the final scene. Could this mean that there’s a possibility for other characters to make a comeback as well?

The return of these characters also brings up questions about the plot of Scream 7. Will it be a continuation of the previous films or will it take a different direction? Will we see these characters fighting off a new ghostface killer or will they be brought back to life to face off against their past enemies?
