Campbell, who first starred as Sidney in 1996’sScream, notably appeared in all of the film’s sequels except for the 2023 entry, due to a contractual disagreement. She announced in March thatshe would be returning to the franchisein the forthcomingScream 7.

“I’ve lived with Sidney for 30 years, and I’m really, really grateful to get to go back to it,” the formerParty of Fiveactress told PEOPLE in May.

And when she was approached forScream 7,Campbell said the tone of the negotiations was completely different than before.

“I’m reallygrateful that the studio heard mewhen I talked about pay discrepancy and when I talked about [Scream VInegotiations] not feeling respectful,” she said at the time.
