Scream in release order
In release order, Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997) and Scream 3 (2000) come first, then Scream 4 (2011) and the television series from 2015 to 2019, then Scream (2022), Scream VI (2023) and Scream 7 (2026).
How to read this table
Everything is in the order it came out, oldest first. The columns:
- Air date — when the entry was first released. Where a page carries something first seen outside the United States, that is the date used, and the notes under the table say so.
- Sch — schedule order, which breaks a tie within a single day. On a night two of these went out, the earlier slot comes first - and a streaming episode that dropped after midnight comes before a programme broadcast that evening.
- Notes — click Notes ... on any row for the episode's links and, where there is one, an explanation of the cross-over.
- Watch — where you can watch that entry, in your own country. The badges link to the episode itself rather than to the service's front page. On a narrow screen this column is hidden - tap Notes ... on a row to see the same thing.
- Watched — tick a box and it is remembered in this browser. Turn syncing on in Preferences and it follows you between devices, with no account and no email address. An episode listed on more than one franchise is ticked on all of them at once.
Three icons can appear in the Notes cell, and they are the reason this site bothers with release order at all:
Story impact — this episode references another series in the franchise.
Story arc — it is part of a story running across several series.
Guest star — a character from another series appears in it.
In the Watch column, the shape of a badge is the difference between watching something now and paying for it again:
- P+ Solid — included with a subscription to that service.
- P+ Outlined — there to rent or buy.
Your country is worked out from your connection and can be changed in Preferences. It is a snapshot rather than a live check, so treat it as a strong hint rather than a promise — services add and drop things constantly.

About this order
Seven films and thirty television episodes, thirty years apart in tone and sharing almost nothing but a mask. This page puts them in the order they came out, which is the only order in which the television series makes sense as the thing it was - a show trading on a film series it never once refers to.
What's on this list
All seven Scream films, from 1996 to Scream 7 in February 2026, and every episode of the television series: two seasons on MTV, then the VH1 season rebranded Scream: Resurrection.
No episode carries a cross-over flag, and that is the finding
Every one of the thirty was checked against the films, and not one of them earns a mark. Woodsboro is not named in a single episode. Every mention of Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, Dewey Riley, Randy Meeks, Billy Loomis, Stu Macher or Stab sits in a Notes or Trivia section on the fan wiki - an editor observing an homage, not something on screen. Season 3 takes up the film mask, which is a props and licensing change rather than a story connection. One actor is in both: Roger L. Jackson, the voice of the mask.
A page with no flags is a result rather than an unfinished page, so it says so here as well as on the first episode.
The television dates are Wikipedia's, because IMDb's are wrong twice over
IMDb stamps all ten season 1 episodes 1 October 2015, a month after the season finished. And every season 2 date there is exactly one day late, which turns a Monday premiere into a Tuesday. Wikipedia is corroborated episode by episode by the ShowBuzzDaily cable ratings charts its own references cite: Monday charts for the first four of season 2, Tuesday charts from the fifth, which is the week MTV announced the move. Season 3 is the only season where the two sources agree.
Two calls worth stating
The Halloween special is two rows. Halloween and Halloween II went out back to back as a two-hour block on 18 October 2016, but they are two separately titled hours with two separate stories, and both Wikipedia and the fan wiki carry two. IMDb carries one entry for the pair, which the two rows share.
Season 3 is a season, not a series. It was rebranded, moved network, recast entirely and changed town - and the Wikipedia list article, IMDb and the fan wiki all still number it as the third season of the same programme.
What was left off
Three things exist and are not here: the six Scream: If I Die webisodes of May 2016, the three Scream After Dark aftershow installments, and the two 2011 making-of documentaries, Still Screaming and Scream: The Inside Story. The scope for this page was set as the films and the transmitted episodes. The webisodes are the most arguable of the three and the likeliest to be added.
