Madame Web star Celeste O’Connor has been tapped to join the Scream 7 cast for the next installment of Paramount Pictures‘ long-running slasher franchise. Further details about their character are still being kept under wraps.
O’Connor is no stranger to the horror genre, after previously starring in 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife and its recent sequel Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, where they played the role of Lucky. Besides Scream 7, they are also currently attached to star in the sci-fi movie UAP, which will be led by The Kissing Booth’s Joel Courtney.
Who will lead the Scream 7 cast?
Scream 7 will feature the return of franchise vets Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox as they reprise their respective fan-favorite roles as Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. In a previous interview, Grey’s Anatomy alum Patrick Dempsey had confirmed that he already had conversations about potentially reprising his role as Sidney’s love interest Mark Kincaid from 2000’s Scream 3. In addition, one of the original Ghostface actors, Matthew Lillard, has also expressed his interest in returning as Stu, despite the villain’s apparent death in the original movie.
Besides O’Connor, 1883 star Isabela May has also signed on to the project. At the moment, it’s still unclear if surviving characters from the last two sequels, including Jasmin Savoy Brown’s Mindy Meeks-Martin and Mason Gooding’s Chad Meeks-Martin, will also be returning after Melissa Barrera’s controversial dismissal from the project. The seventh installment will be directed by franchise creator Kevin Williamson from a screenplay written by Guy Busick. It is produced by Paul Neinstein, William Sherak, and James Vanderbilt.
