Series creator Kevin Williamson is making it clear: he wants Neve Campbell, who portrayed Sidney Prescott in the Scream horror franchise, to return to the series. Campbell was notably absent from the most recent installment, Scream VI, due to a salary dispute. In a recent interview, Williamson expressed his desire, stressing the need to fairly compensate Campbell for her return.
Neve Campbell’s Salary Dispute: Kevin Williamson’s Call to ‘Pay Her the Money’ in Scream Franchise
Campbell had publicly stated in June 2022 that she declined the offer due to concerns about her value and fair compensation, particularly considering her longstanding contribution to the franchise.
Williamson, in response, emphasized his support for her.
“I love everyone involved with Scream and all I can say is pay her the money. Yes, you heard it, everyone. That’s what I would do. I would give her that.”
