List of Scream (film series) cast members

Scream is an American meta horror slasher film series created in 1996 by Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven.

The leading role of the series is Sidney Prescott, portrayed by Canadian actress Neve Campbell, who is accompanied by ambitious news reporter Gale Weathers, played by Courteney Cox, and the police officer Dewey Riley, played by David Arquette, who appear in all five Scream films.

However, it was eventually announced the franchise would continue through Scream: The TV Series, a television production that debuted on MTV in 2015.

In particular, its cast of famous female actresses such as Drew Barrymore and Courteney Cox in prominent, strong roles was considered to give the genre credibility and allow future Scream and other horror films to attract big name actors with greater ease.

[22] Cox received a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in Scream 2 but lost to Gloria Stuart for Titanic (1997).
