The casting announcements for Scream 7 just don’t stop, it seems. Deadline reports that former soap opera star and Riverdale mainstay Mark Consuelos has joined the cast of the upcoming film, which hits theaters next year, alongside recent returning addition Jasmine Savoy-Brown, among others.
Like just about every new cast member joining the legacy sequel (with the exception of Joel McHale, apparently), we have no idea who Consuelos is playing or how he’ll be involved in the film. Plot details for the film are also being kept under wraps, though we do know that the sequel has begun filming, according to franchise director Kevin Williamson.
What we do know is that plenty of key cast members from the franchise will be returning for Scream 7, notably Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, with the former returning after being absent from Scream VI, but also Mason Gooding, who featured in the last two “legacy sequel” films in the franchise and plays Savoy-Brown’s twin brother. 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 will be Consuelos’ first film role since 2016’s All We Had, starring Katie Holmes, and one of just twelve film credits to his name. He’s much more notable for his television work, including a seven-year stint on the soap opera All My Children, as well as plenty of recent voice work, alongside his current position as co-host of Live With Kelly and Mark.
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 looks set to push the franchise past the $1 billion mark at the global box office.
Scream 7 hits theaters on February 27, 2026.
