Campbell also confirmed Kevin Williamson, 58, who wrote the original 1996 Scream film, will direct the upcoming seventh instalment.
She added: “While I’ve been so incredibly lucky to make these films with both the master of horror Wes Craven and the wonderfully talented Matt and Tyler team, I’ve dreamt for many years of how amazing it would be to make one of these movies with Kevin Williamson at the helm.
“And now it’s happening, Kevin Williamson is going to direct Scream 7!
“This was his baby and it’s his brilliant mind that dreamt up this world. Kevin is not just an inspiration as an artist but has been a dear friend for many years.
“To the amazing Scream fans, I hope you are as excited as I am. See you on set @kevwilliamson.”
Williamson added on Instagram: “It’s been nearly 30 years since my very first script, Scream, was directed by the legendary Wes Craven. I never would have predicted what it would become. Or that I would be directing the seventh installment of the franchise.
“I am overcome with gratitude and excitement, and I can’t wait to take this journey with Neve and the entire Scream family as we bring back Sidney Prescott in the next chapter of the Scream franchise.
“Thank you to all the Scream fans. You are the gift that keeps giving. @nevecampbell See you on set.”
