Deadline is reporting that Scream 8 has found its writers in Lilla and Nora Zuckerman, and if you are looking for two people who know how to handle mystery and intrigue, you’ve found the right people for the job. Lilla and Nora Zuckerman are the duo responsible for shows like Peacock’s beloved series Poker Face, but they’ve also written and executive-produced shows like Prodigal Son, Suits, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the modern classic that is Fringe. It would seem Scream 8 is already in stellar hands, and that should ease fears for the future of the franchise for longtime fans.
Despite Negative Reviews, There’s Still Plenty of Life in the Scream Franchise
Scream 7 was always going to have its work cut out for it, as it was coming after two celebrated entries in the franchise in Scream 5 and Scream 6. Both of those films included a new core group of characters played by Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, and Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Scream 6 even switched up locations and took place in New York City, adding yet another fresh layer to the franchise.
None of those actors returned for Scream 7, and the locale was switched up as well. Instead, Campbell would finally return to the franchise along with a new group of actors, including McKenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, and Anna Camp. Kevin Williamson would also return to direct the project, but it would debut to less than stellar reviews, and currently sits at a 31% Critics’ Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
