‘Scream 7’ Ending: All the Deaths, Cameos and Killers Explained, and Will There Be a ‘Scream 8’?

Scream 7’s finale reveals a dual deception: the figure presented as Stu is actually an AI deepfake created by Marco (Ethan Embry), while the main Ghostface killer is an escaped asylum inmate stalking Sidney; significant kills and cameos include Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner, with Joel McHale wounded but surviving.

‘David Ellison Scares the S— Out of Me’: How Paramount Beat Out Netflix, Won Warner Bros. and Will Change Hollywood Forever

Paramount (with Skydance backing) submitted a superior $31-per-share bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery; Netflix had offered $27.75 per share and declined to match Paramount’s higher bid, prompting Netflix to walk away and refocus on organic growth. The competing bids set a high-stakes M&A dynamic with major library/control implications.
