We've got bad news, horror fans. Although Courteney Cox is returning for Scream 7, the Friends star's sassy weather girl Gale Weathers won't have that much screentime.
According to an unofficial Scream news account on Twitter, Cox will have just 22 minutes of screen time in Scream 7. We have to take this news with a pinch of salt until Paramount confirms. But, judging by the Scream 7 trailer, which includes just one shot of Weathers, we can see how she may be absent for most of the movie.
In the clip, the journalist pulls up in a news van and meets with Neve Campbell's final girl, Sidney Prescott, presumably after the murders have already started taking place. However, the ambitious news reporter will finally get what she has been waiting 30 years for. In a leaked clip online, we see the two talking on a chat show, where Weathers gets to conduct a sit-down interview with Prescott.

Despite Cox's Scream 7 runtime feeling a little short, it will actually be the most that fans have seen of her in the franchise since Scream 3. After Weathers made it big, moved to the city, and separated from Dewey, we have seen less of her in newer movies. The character only showed up in a scene or two in both Scream 5 and 6.
The upcoming sequel shines the spotlight on Prescott once again. Despite moving away from Woodsboro and building a new life in a quiet town, Scream 7 sees Ghostface return to target Sidney and her daughter (Isabel May). Director Kevin Williamson has confirmed that the new movie will focus primarily on these two characters, telling Empire Magazine, "It's continuing the legacy of Sidney Prescott. It's about her daughter. It's about family."
Scream 7 also welcomes back Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, as well as Matthew Lillard (Stu Macher) and David Arquette (Dewey), despite their characters seemingly dying earlier in the franchise.
