Where to start with Scream

Release order, all seven, and that really is all there is to it. The only thing worth saying up front is that the 2022 film is called Scream and is not a remake, which trips up almost everyone who finds it on a streaming menu.

  1. 1
    Scream (1996) Scream

    The one that made horror self-aware, and every later film in the series is a joke told at its expense. Nothing before it, and the reveal only works cold.

  2. 2
    Scream 2 (1997) Scream 2

    Made a year later and set a couple of years on, with the survivors at college. It is a direct sequel and assumes you know exactly who lived.

  3. 3
    Scream (2022) Scream

    Confusingly also called Scream, and it is the fifth film, not a reboot. It brings the original three back and its plot depends on the 1996 film's killer.

Then what? Watch three and four between them, in order. Then Scream VI and Scream 7. Every film is a direct sequel to the one before it, nobody is rebooted, and the survivors carry through all seven. The MTV television series is a different thing entirely and is not part of this.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
