Neve Campbell’s Reason for Declining ‘Scream’ Role Reprisal

Following the financial and critical success of 2022’s Scream, fans expected Neve to return for the sixth installment, which is scheduled for a March 2023 release. However, the franchise heroine announced that she declined the opportunity.

“Sadly, I won’t be making the next Scream film,” Neve said in a statement obtained by Deadline in June 2022. “As a woman, I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream. I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.”

Despite turning down the offer, Neve insisted this was a “very difficult decision to move on.”

“To all my Scream fans, I love you,” she added. “You’ve always been so incredibly supportive to me. I’m forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years.”

While she didn’t note this was her official departure from any future Scream films, her former costar David Arquette called the move “unfortunate” but mentioned he “understand[s] her decision” in a June 2022 interview with Comicbook.com.

“It’s all a business in a way, they have to balance all these elements to fit a budget and produce a film,” the actor, who played detective Dewey Riley in the series said. “I get it, she’s still alive! She [can] absolutely be in future ones, but I think it’s up to fans to call for that in the future. That is sudden, it’s a business, though. I respect her decision, for sure.”

Neve Campbell Once Discussed the Female Wage Gap

In an October 2020 with Variety, Neve and Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis pointed out that they had noticed pay gaps in the horror genre.

“There’s always the promise of back end,” Neve said in reference to the final pay cut for an actor. “And then, of course, it’s drowned in publicity and costs and all the reasons they say, ‘Oh, actually no, we didn’t make the amount of money that we’re claiming we made in all the press, so we don’t have to give you that.’”
