Echoes of the past

Years after the events of the original Scream movies, a new generation in Woodsboro has moved on-or so they think. The survivors are living quiet lives, but when a local podcaster begins digging into the infamous Ghostface murders for a true-crime series, the town's dark past resurfaces. The series rekindles the Ghostface legend, inspiring a copycat killer who claims to be finishing what the original Ghostface started.

The protagonist could be the child of one of the original survivors-let's say Sidney Prescott's teenage daughter, Eve Prescott. Eve grew up knowing about her mom's survival but never expecting to face her own Ghostface. However, when the copycat killer starts picking off people tied to the original cases, Eve is thrust into a deadly game of survival.

Old faces return as Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley step in to investigate, suspecting that Ghostface might be closer to them than they realized. Tensions rise as alliances are questioned, and even Sidney is forced out of hiding.

Twist: The new killer is not only copying the murders but seems to be intimately familiar with details no one outside the original group could know. As bodies pile up, it turns out the killer has a shocking connection to Billy Loomis or Stu Macher, seeking revenge for the past in a twisted, personal vendetta.
