A decade of uneasy peace shatters when a new Ghostface emerges—one more calculating, more personal, and more obsessed with the franchise’s bloody legacy than ever before. As rumors swirl about a “final” Stab movie and the internet erupts with theories, taunts, and toxic fandom, the survivors of Woodsboro are forced back into the nightmare they’ve spent their lives trying to escape. Sidney Prescott Evans, now a mother, is drawn out of hiding when the killer’s attacks begin targeting not just her old friends, but her daughter Tatum. Joined by Gale Weathers and her husband Mark Evans, Sidney must confront a threat that weaponizes the past in terrifying new ways—using AI recreations of former killers and victims to haunt, mislead, and torment the living. As the body count rises, the survivors band together to unravel a mystery that reaches deeper into their shared history than any Ghostface before. Every motive is questioned. Every legacy is twisted. And every rule of the franchise is turned inside out.
