Scream 7 is getting a dose of twin magic, after all. With filming underway, Variety confirms that Jasmin Savoy Brown will reprise her role as Mandy Meeks-Martin, joining Mason Gooding who returns as Mandy’s twin brother, Chad.
Mandy and Chad were introduced in 2022’s Scream revival, and barely survived the events of Scream VI. The duo are the niece and nephews of original Scream character Randy Meeks, played by Jamie Kennedy, and share his love of horror movies and breaking down the rules to survive them.
The return of Mandy and Chad promises there will be a bit more connective tissue between this film and the two previous films. For a while, it looked as if another soft reboot was in order after the exits of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega.
Neve Campbell is set to make her return as Sidney Prescott, with Courtney Cox as Gale Weathers, and Roger L. Jackson again voicing Ghostface.
In a bit of a surprise, Deadline reports Brown’s Yellowjackets co-star Joel McHale has joined the cast as Sidney’s husband, Mark Evans, an entirely new character. When it was learned that Sidney’s kids would be in the film, the obvious speculation was she married Patrick Dempsey’s Detective Mark Kincaid, but that was wrong. Characters referenced a “Mark” in both Scream and Scream VI, but it wasn’t Kincaid they were referring to.
Other New additions to the cast include Celeste O’Connor, McKenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Anna Camp, Asa Germann, and Isabel May.
Scream 7 hits theaters on February 27th 2026, directed by Kevin Williamson.
