Cast and Crew of Scream 2

Scream 2

Someone has taken their love of sequels one step too far.

In the terrifying sequel to the original Scream, "Scream 2", viewers are introduced to a primary cast of characters, each with their own unique role in the chilling narrative. Returning is the resilient Sidney Prescott, once again portrayed by the talented Neve Campbell. Sidney, having survived the horrors of the first film, is now attempting to move forward with her life, attending college and hoping to leave her traumatic past behind. Alongside her is the ambitious and tenacious reporter, Gale Weathers, brought to life by the skillful Courteney Cox. Gale, in this sequel, remains dogged in her pursuit of a sensational story, yet a growing concern for Sidney's safety adds a layer of complexity to her character.

"Scream 2" takes us on a journey where Sidney, once a victim, becomes the target of a malevolent force yet again. Now a college student, Sidney thought she had finally escaped the terrifying events of her past. The shocking murders that had once shattered her life seemed to be behind her, as she focused on her studies and tried to start anew. However, the peace she had found was cruelly disrupted by the emergence of a copycat killer. This sinister individual, seemingly inspired by the tragic events of Sidney's past, begins to stage a real-life sequel, with Sidney as the star.

The plot thickens as the copycat killer, mimicking the original murderer's style, starts a new killing spree, this time within the college campus. The similarities between the past and present horrors are unmistakable, leaving Sidney and those around her in a state of terror. As the body count rises, so does the urgency to unmask the mysterious killer. With the original case reopened and theories running rampant, Sidney, Gale, and their allies must work together to decipher the clues, protect each other, and ultimately stop the killer before they strike again. "Scream 2" is a gripping tale of survival, resilience, and the haunting consequences of unresolved trauma.

Scream 2 is part of the Scream Collection.
