Mason Gooding, who will play Chad Meeks-Martin for a third time in Scream 7, discussed what fans can expect from the slasher sequel during a recent podcast appearance.
“This is the most brutal Ghostface I think there’s ever been from an anatomically logistical standpoint,” the actor tells I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario.
“There’s a lot of blood and viscera, and I feel like with Kevin Williamson directing, fans have a lot to look forward to with what we do with these characters.”
Gooding joins fellow legacy cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Scott Foley, and Jasmin Savoy Brown in the sequel.
Isabel May plays Sidney’s daughter. Other franchise newcomers include Celeste O’Connor, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Asa Germann, Anna Camp, Mark Consuelos, Ethan Embry, and Joel McHale as Sidney’s husband.
Williamson, writer of the original Scream as well as Scream 2 and Scream 4, is directing the latest installment from a script by Guy Busick, who penned Scream 5 and Scream 6.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, of course, but the latest installment in slasher saga is expected to bring the focus back onto Sidney and her family.
Currently in production in Atlanta, Scream 7 is scheduled to be released on February 27, 2026 by Paramount Pictures.
Gooding takes on another masked killer in Josh Ruben‘s Heart Eyes, in theaters Friday.
