With filming for Scream 7 likely to finish this month, the last few weeks have revealed more casting news.
Before that, a reminder of the previously confirmed cast being Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Roger L. Jackson, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Isabel May, Joel McHale, Mark Consuelos, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner.
First of all, let's talk about those returns. Last month it was revealed that Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley would reprise their roles as former Ghostfaces Stu Macher and Roman Bridger, last seen in both Scream (1996) and Scream 3 alone. Right now, something they're not the only former Ghostfaces that we'll see in the upcoming seventh instalment.
Announced tonight however was the return of David Arquette as former deputy Dewey Riley. Yes, his character was killed off in Scream (2022) and its not likely he's being resurrected here, given the grounded nature of the franchise. My guess is that any confirmed return of a dead character will be courtesy of an AI/deep fake from the current Ghostface(s). Or maybe a dream/hallucination/flashback, etc.
As for more new faces to the franchise, Ethan Embry was also cast last month in an undisclosed role. There was a rumour that he might be playing either a drama teacher or a mental patient while the movie will be located in a fictional town named Pine Wood.
Aside from that, the general plot has managed to remain under wraps. Also with filming likely nearing the end, it'll be interesting if any further announcements are made before the release of the first trailer.
Scream 7 will be released in theatres from February 27th 2026.
