Spyglass’ Scream 8 is moving forward. So, get ready for another Ghostface — or more.
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman, better known as the Zuckerman sisters, are set as writers for the eighth installment of the long-standing slasher franchise, created by Kevin Williamson, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The Zuckerman sisters most recently served as showrunners for the hit Peacock series Poker Face, starring Natasha Lyonne. They have also worked as writers and co-executive producers on such shows as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Suits, Fringe, and Prodigal Son.
The news comes after Scream 7, released Feb. 27, became the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning more than $200 million worldwide.
Scream 7 welcomed back Williamson, who stepped into the director’s chair. The film also saw the return of its final girl, Neve Campbell (who didn’t appear in Scream VI due to salary disputes) and saw Ghostface targeting Sidney and her teenage daughter, Tatum (Isabel May). The screenplay was co-written by Williamson and Guy Busick (Ready or Not films, Abigail).
Shortly after the film premiered, Anna Camp, who appeared in Scream 7, told THR she heard chatter about another installment. “Just rumors, just rumors. I haven’t heard from anyone specifically that I worked with, like Kevin or Neve but I’ve heard the rumors going around that there’s a Scream 8,” she said.
Additional cast members included Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Isabel May, Michelle Randolph, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Jimmy Tatro, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner.
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman are repped by UTA and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark.
Deadline was first to report the news.
More to come.
