As the cast for Scream 7 continues to grow with filming now underway, a new puzzling addition has just been announced. Deadline reports that Scream 3 actor Scott Foley has joined the cast.
The seventh installment is set to release in theaters on February 27, 2026.
Naturally, character details are under wraps at this point, but Foley previously played Roman Bridger, the half-brother of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who was revealed to be Ghostface in Scream 3. Roman didn’t survive the events of the third entry, so start speculating now whether Roman will get resurrected in some way or whether Foley’s casting hints toward a more meta approach in the upcoming sequel.
The only plot details released so far is that the seventh installment is expected to return the focus to Sidney Prescott and her family. If Foley does wind up reprising Roman Bridger, that further supports Scream 7 as a Prescott family affair.
Scream 7 marks the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, Courtney Cox as Gale Weathers, and Roger L. Jackson as the voice of Ghostface.
Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown as set to return alongside newcomers Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Sam Rechner (The Fabelmans), Asa Germann (“The Boys”), Anna Camp (“Hysteria!), Isabel May (“1883”), Mark Consuelos, and Joel McHale (It’s a Wonderful Knife) as Sidney’s husband, Mark Evans.
Original Scream writer Kevin Williamson is directing Scream 7 with Guy Busick (2022’s Scream and Scream VI) writing.
The long-running horror franchise was launched by director Wes Craven and included four feature films: Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000) and Scream 4 (2011). The franchise relaunched in 2022 with the fifth installment, Scream. Scream VI, the latest was released theatrically worldwide in March 2023 and holds the franchise record for highest domestic box office gross.
Project X Entertainment’s James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, and Paul Neinstein (2022’s Scream and Scream VI) are producing.
