Neve Campbell has confirmed that she is reprising her role as the perpetually-pursued Sidney Prescott in the upcoming fifth film in the Scream franchise.
The news makes it a full house for the first Scream movie since Wes Craven's death, with Campbell joining fellow returnees Courteney Cox and David Arquette for the fresh instalment 10 years on from the release of Scream 4.
"After spending time speaking with [horror producers] Radio Silence, they have shown such love, respect and admiration for Wes Craven and all that he's created in the Scream franchise," said Campbell.
"I am beyond excited to step back into the role of Sidney Prescott and return to Woodsboro."
Radio Silence, who have previously made Ready Or Not and V/H/S, said in a statement: "We're pinching ourselves! It's hard to express how much the character Sidney Prescott shaped our love of movies and to have the chance to work with Neve is truly a dream come true.
"It just wouldn't be a Scream movie without Neve and we're so excited and honoured to join her in Woodsboro."
Scream 5 is due to be filmed later this year for release in early 2022.
