As filming on Spyglass’s next Scream sequel ramps up, more and more cast members are returning to the fold. Variety reports that Jasmine Savoy-Brown will return for Scream 7 as Mindy Meeks-Martin, joining fellow returning series star Mason Gooding as her on-screen twin Chad.
The news comes just after original franchise creator Kevin Williamson shared a photo on Instagram of the first slate for the project, revealing that the slasher sequel is officially filming. Additionally, it was revealed today that Animal Control star Joel McHale is joining the franchise to play returning final girl Sidney Prescott’s husband, Mark. (What that means for Patrick Dempsey’s character, we don’t yet know.)
Other key cast members have returned to the franchise, notably Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, with the former returning after being absent from Scream VI, but also Gooding, who featured in the last two “legacy sequel” films in the franchise. Scream 7 is also set to star Ghostbusters: Afterlife stars Celeste O’Connor and Mckenna Grace, as well as Anna Camp and Isabel May.
Scream 7 is the third sequel in the “rebooted” era of the franchise, following 2022’s Scream and Scream VI in 2023, the latter of which raked in a franchise-high gross at the domestic box office, earning over $108 million. The series doesn’t look like it’s headed for graveyard anytime soon, though, as the release of Scream 7 — if its recent casting controversy doesn’t dampen its box office draws — looks set to push the franchise past the $1 billion mark at the global box office.
Scream 7 hits theaters on February 27, 2026.
