As of January 2024, the studio behind the “Scream” franchise has reportedly responded to Neve Campbell’s concerns regarding pay equity. Campbell, who has been associated with the franchise for 25 years, expressed dissatisfaction with the pay gap between herself and male counterparts in similar roles. She highlighted her belief that her compensation would have been higher if she were a man. However, she acknowledged Spyglass Media Group’s proactive approach in offering her a “strong” deal for “Scream 7.” Campbell expressed gratitude for the studio’s response to her advocacy for fair compensation and respect in negotiations. The actress did not participate in the sixth installment of the franchise due to a pay dispute. The recent developments follow controversies surrounding the departure of other cast members and the film’s production. Campbell’s positive response to the studio’s offer signals a potential return to the iconic role, reflecting her desire for equitable treatment in the industry.
