Parker Posey would like to return to the Scream series, please
She doesn’t care how dead her character is, get Posey back in Scream pronto!

Is it really too much to ask for a little more Parker Posey? Parker Posey doesn’t think so. The A.V. Club doesn’t think so. So why is Ghostface being such a butt about letting everyone’s favorite Gen X party girl back into the Screamiverse?
It’s not for lack of trying. While doing press for Ari Aster’s latest mind-bender Beau Is Afraid, Posey told ComicBook.com [via Variety] that she’s way ahead of us, having already “pitched” her return. Posey says that about three weeks ago, while supporting The Seagull/Woodstock, NY, an off-broadway Chekhov play she’s starring in, she did an interview with Radio WNYC when she met some members of the “Scream team.” So, abiding by the sigma grindset that we all know Posey’s known for, she tossed off any glad-handing and asked for a job.
“I actually pitched, ‘Can I just be in another dimension and come back?” she said. “I hope so. I would I would love to do that. That was really fun. I can’t believe Wes Craven let me get away with some of the silly stuff I was doing. I loved him, and that was fun.”
Posey, who starred in Scream 3 as Jennifer Jolie, the in-universe Stab analog for Courtney Cox’s Gale Withers character, seems due for a comeback. Look, if they can shoehorn a de-aged Skeet Ulrich back into these movies under the guise of a Friday The 13th homage, surely Radio Silence can find a place for Parker Posey. At the very least, couldn’t they turn Posey’s infamous line “My lawyer liked that” into a meme or something? You know what? We’re going to stop giving great ideas away for free.
After we get a Change.org petition calling for Posey’s return, maybe we can throw some work toward Roger Corman, who pops up in Scream 3 as a studio executive.

Sorry no can do even for Parker Posey, there’s not even been a hint of alternate dimensions in the series.Previously unheard of twin sister? That we can do especially for Parker Posey. It’s practically a horror trope on top of everything else!
She and her twin sister were kid stars in Hollywood (The Jolie Twins, natch), had a couple of big hits as kids, but Jennifer Jolie is the only one who kept acting into adulthood. BAM. Give me my check Paramount.
They could have it that she actually survived the stabbing in Scream 3. I feel like she died in a frantic chase scene so it could be possible she was still barely alive.
She was absolutely amazing in Lost in Space.
Easiest thing to do? Since the character was an actress have someone watch a scene from one of her movies. It’d only be a cameo unfortunately but it’s something. There is the family member route, doesn’t even have to be a twin sister if she has a wig and makeup to change her face just a bit to look a bit different but still have family resemblance.

Your time here is up, Matt.
Yes, please. we didn’t see her take her last breath so it is doable that she survived. If Chad can survive the attacks in Scream 5 and Scream 6, then Parker Posey can return. it would be phenomenal.
As if that writing wasn’t bad enough, now we want to triple-down on it? No thank you.
The story here is “Roger Corman’s still alive!”
Great choice to use a frame showing off Courtney Cox’s atrocious bangs.
