Scream 7 - Additional Casting News

Well, the production of Scream 7, now currently filming in Atlanta certainly hasn't been dull and over the last week, we've had more major casting news.

First of all, let's talk Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) husband. In 2022, it was revealed that she was married to Mark and had children with him. It was naturally assumed that it was Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey) from Scream 3. It was also expected that Dempsey's casting was about to be announced as production started up.

However in a twist no-one saw coming, it turns out that Sidney instead married a man named Mark Evans and he's being played by Joel McHale. To say, the reception to this development has been divisive would be an understatement but a week has passed and most seem to have now calmed down on the idea of the former Community actor playing Sidney's husband.

Gettong back to returns though, if it was shocking that Mason Gooding was reprising his role as Chad Meeks-Martin, then it's even more surprising that Yellowjackets star Jasmin Savoy Brown will also be returning as Mindy. That now means that Scream 7 will have Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Roger L. Jackson, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown reprising their respective roles alongside newcomers Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Isabel May, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner.

Also added to the cast officially was Mark Consuelos. The Riverdale actor will apparently play a rival TV host named Robbie to Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox). Not much else is known about his character but if he's not a potential Ghostface, I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up having a very public killing by the masked killer/s on air. 

Other rumoured actors include Victor Turpin (Shades Of Blue) and Amy Louise Pemberton (Legends Of Tomorrow). If their casting gets confirmed or more casting is announced within the week, I'll edit this blog. 

Scream 7 will be in theatres from February 27th 2026.
