One reason why Matthew Lillard and some observant fans believe Stu might have survived is the fact that Matthew had a cameo in Scream 2. Blink and you'll miss him, but he's standing at the frat party, as an extra. In an interview with Us Magazine, when asked about Matthew's theory, Kevin Williamson said, "Stu does live forever," which we take to mean, in our hearts.

It might be over for Stu, but who knows if the next Scream is the last. Kevin went on to say to Us Magazine that he would love to see more of the franchise. "I love that they keep making Halloween because Scream is an homage to Halloween. I hope they never stopped making Halloween movies. I’m still waiting for another Friday the 13th, and I hope that comes soon and I would love to see Scream live on."

Scream is slated to be released exclusively in theaters Jan. 14, 2022.
