Scream 7 will bring back several legacy characters alongside a new younger cast, led once again by Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott. The most up‑to‑date public info points to a large ensemble that mixes original trilogy icons, the newer “Core Four” era, and brand‑new faces.

Confirmed returning stars

Current reporting and industry listings indicate these returning cast members:

  • Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, the long‑time final girl of the franchise.
  • Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, the veteran reporter and survivor.
  • David Arquette as Dewey Riley, noted as appearing again in cast breakdowns despite his Scream 5 fate.
  • Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy Meeks‑Martin, the horror‑savvy niece of Randy.
  • Mason Gooding as Chad Meeks‑Martin, Mindy’s brother and fellow survivor.
  • Matthew Lillard returning as Stu Macher, previously thought dead in the original film, now listed among the cast.
  • Scott Foley as Roman Bridger, the Ghostface from Scream 3, also appearing again in current cast info.

These inclusions strongly suggest the new movie leans into the idea of revisiting and possibly “reframing” earlier killers and survivors.

New and younger cast

Recent summaries and credits also highlight a group of new characters orbiting Sidney’s family and a new teen circle.

  • Isabel May as Tatum Evans (Sidney’s daughter), apparently a central focus of the plot.
  • Mckenna Grace, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Tim Simons, and Mark Consuelos in various new and supporting roles.

Story teases describe one thread following Sidney and the returning adults, and another centered on Tatum and her friends as they are targeted by a new Ghostface.

What is still uncertain

Not every fan‑favorite from Scream VI or earlier sequels is publicly locked in the way the names above are. Forum and trailer discussions also point out that some “returns from the dead” may involve misdirection, flashbacks, or altered canon, so details could still change before and even after release.
