Although Parker Posey narrowly survived her stay at The White Lotus, she's ready to go up against Ghostface again. The Golden Globe nominee, whose Scream 3 (2000) character Jennifer Jolie was seemingly killed, hopes to reprise the role for a future installment after other previous franchise victims and killers have been resurrected. More from Deadline Sarah Michelle Gellar Campaigns To Reprise 'Scream 2' Role: 'I'm Waiting For My Call' Scott Foley On 'Scream 7' Return Despite Character Death: 'I Don't Know How It Works Out' 'White Lotus' Season 3 Mystery Solved By Mike White's Pal Sarah Silverman 'Well, I did an interview for WNYC Radio, like three weeks ago, for the play I was doing. And they said, 'Well, there's some people here that want to say hi.' And it was the Scream team,' Posey told 'And I actually pitched, 'Can I just be in another dimension and come back?'' With Scream (2022) bringing back Skeet Ulrich's OG killer Billy Loomis in ghostly visions and Scream VI (2023) reviving Hayden Panettiere's Kirby Reed after she was left for dead in Scream 4 (2011), as well as the recent announcements that David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley will all reprise their deceased characters in Scream 7, Posey hopes her doomed actress character could also make a return.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Sarah Michelle Gellar previously pleaded for her return to the franchise as well after her character Cici Cooper was killed in Scream 2 (1997). 'They were bringing everybody back [for Scream 7]. I kept thinking I would get a call, I didn't get a call,' she said.

'Scream 7': Matthew Lillard's shock return, Mark Consuelos, and everything else we know
The latest "Scream" may be reintroducing some familiar Ghostfaces. "Scream 7," the next installment in the long-running horror franchise, is set to stab its way into theaters in just over a year, and on Thursday, some bombshell casting news left fans' heads spinning. Matthew Lillard, who played Ghostface killer Stu Macher in the original "Scream," is returning to the series. After his casting was reported by multiple outlets, Lillard seemingly confirmed it on Instagram by posting a quote his character uttered in the 1996 film: "My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!" USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Spyglass Media Group, the film's production company. The cast for "Scream 7" has been gradually growing in recent weeks and consists of a mix of new and returning stars. But there remains a fair amount of controversy around the project based largely on who isn't in it. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. 'Scream 7' cast: Who's starring in the film? Lillard was the most recent member of the cast to be revealed, creating confusion given his character died at the end of 1996's "Scream" by having a television fall on his head. There has long been a fan theory that Stu secretly survived, an idea that "Scream VI" poked fun at. But it's unclear whether Lillard's return confirms Stu is still alive or if he will be playing the character in flashbacks, hallucinations, or some other form. Equally as shocking was reports from Deadline and Entertainment Weekly that Scott Foley will be in the film. He previously played Sidney Prescott's half-brother Roman Bridger, the Ghostface killer in "Scream 3." But it's again unclear how he'll be returning given Roman was shot in the head at the end of that film. Meanwhile, Neve Campbell is back to star as Sidney Prescott after playing the iconic final girl in the first five films. She dropped out of 2023's "Scream VI" due to a salary dispute, though the movie mentioned that she was taking care of her family off screen. "I'm very happy and proud to say I've been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn't be more thrilled!!!" Campbell said on Instagram last year. Scream VI' spoilers!Sorry, Ghostface, this character is the franchise's best killer Additionally, Courteney Cox, who has appeared in every single "Scream" film, is back as reporter Gale Weathers. New cast members for "Scream 7" include Joel McHale, who according to The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline is playing Sidney's husband Mark Evans. 2022's "Scream" revealed Sidney has a husband named Mark who does not appear on screen, though the film's directors confirmed in interviews this man was Mark Kincaid, Patrick Dempsey's character from "Scream 3." That is apparently no longer the case, as Dempsey is not reported to be returning. The "Grey's Anatomy" star said on the "Today" show in October that "there has been a conversation" about him being in the movie, but he was "waiting on the script." Isabel May will reportedly play Sidney's daughter in the film, and other new cast members reportedly include Mckenna Grace, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann, Anna Camp, and Sam Rechner. Neve Campbellis returning for 'Scream 7' after pay dispute, Melissa Barrera firing Mark Consuelos will also star in the movie, he confirmed on "LIVE with Kelly and Mark." "I had the most amazing time," he said. Finally, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown are returning as twins Chad and Mindy, per Deadline and Variety. Who's making 'Scream 7'? The directors of "Scream" (2022) and "Scream VI," Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, did not return to direct "Scream 7." They told The Hollywood Reporter they "got exited" from the film because they went to work on their movie "Abigail" after "Scream VI," and the studio did not want to wait for them before moving ahead with "Scream 7." The movie will instead be directed by Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter behind the first "Scream" and its sequels "Scream 2" and "Scream 4." This is his first time directing a "Scream" movie and only his second time directing any movie, after 1999's "Teaching Mrs. Tingle." Williamson confirmed on Instagram in January that the movie has begun filming. But there will still be a creative tie to the most recent two films, as the screenplay for "Scream 7" was written by Guy Busick, who co-wrote "Scream" (2022) and "Scream VI." What's the controversy around 'Scream 7'? Two names notably missing from the cast list are Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who starred as the main characters of the rebooted "Scream" series, Sam and Tara Carpenter. In 2023, Spyglass fired Barrera from the film due to her posts supportive of Palestine amid the Israel-Hamas war, which the studio alleged constituted "hate speech." She said in a statement after her firing, "I condemn hate and prejudice of any kind against any group of people." Melissa Barreraaddresses 'Scream 7' firing over posts on Israel-Hamas war: 'Silence is not an option' At the time, Christopher Landon was set to direct the film, but he announced the following month he had left the project. "It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare," he posted on X. Shortly after Barrera's firing, Ortega was also confirmed to not be returning as Tara, which Deadline reported was due to her busy shooting schedule. Some fans continue to support Barrera and have vowed not to see "Scream 7" due to her firing. 'Scream 7' release date "Scream 7" will hit theaters on Feb. 27, 2026.

Scott Foley Joins Cast Of ‘Scream 7'
EXCLUSIVE: Scott Foley (Scream 3, The Girls on the Bus) has joined the cast of Scream 7 from Spyglass and Paramount Pictures. Details regarding his character and the film's plot are currently under wraps. However, Foley is already part of the Scream universe having portrayed antagonist Roman Bridger, the film director and half-brother of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) who was revealed to be the Ghostface Killer of Scream 3. More from Deadline Mark Consuelos Joins Cast Of 'Scream 7' Brad Pitt To Star In & Produce 'Heart Of The Beast', David Ayer's Action Adventure Pic For Paramount Mason Gooding Teases 'Scream 7' Return & Calls Neve Campbell The "Godmother Of The Genre" Foley's casting comes with its own set of questions because Roman was killed by Dewey (David Arquette) at Sidney's request. Roman has faked his own death before so it's plausible that he could reprise the role in the present or perhaps in flashback form in the past if he is deceased. Could Roman have a long-lost twin? This is Scream after all, so if he returns as a ghost (face killer?) or a zombie, it would not shock most. There are so many possibilities here that I defer to franchise superfans to figure out. Foley joins the previously announced legacy cast members Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox as well as Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, alongside newcomers Isabel May, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Anna Camp, Joel McHale and Mark Consuelos. Franchise creator Kevin Williamson is directing with Guy Busick (2022's Scream and Scream VI) writing. Project X Entertainment's James Vanderbilt, William Sherak and Paul Neinstein (2022's Scream and Scream VI) are producing. The long-running horror franchise previously generated four feature films including Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000) and Scream 4 (2011), directed by the late Wes Craven. It relaunched with the fifth installment, Scream, in 2022. The latest outing, Scream VI, was released theatrically worldwide in March 2023 and holds the franchise record for highest domestic box office gross with more than $108 million and has taken in more than $169 million worldwide. Collectively, the Scream franchise has earned more than $900 million in worldwide box office receipts. Foley most recently starred in Max's political drama series, The Girls on the Bus, opposite Melissa Benoist and his Scream 7 co-star Consuelos. Foley can also be seen in the recurring role of, Dr. Seth McDale, on the 3rd season of ABC's Will Trent. In 2019, he headlined and produced ABC's action dramedy Whiskey Cavelier. Foley starred as Jake Ballard in six seasons of ABC's hit drama, Scandal. His other extensive TV credits include the WB's Felicity, Fox's The Big Leap, HBO's True Blood, ABC's Grey's Anatomy, CBS' The Unit and NBC/ABC's Scrubs. Foley made his feature film debut in Wes Craven's Scream 3 for Dimension Films. He followed that with a leading role in Dimension Films' Below opposite Matthew Davis and the indie feature Rennie's Landing opposite Ethan Embry and Peter Facinelli. Foley's other film credits include Let's Kill Ward's Wife, which he wrote, directed and produced, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, the TV movie Final Vision and Netflix's Naked. Next, he will star in Netflix's romantic comedy, La Dolce Villa, which will premiere on February 13th.

Two scream legends unexpectedly return to the franchise for seventh film
Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley, who played Ghostface killers Stuart 'Stu' Macher and Roman Bridger in the Scream franchise, will be returning for the forthcoming seventh instalment. Lillard, whose character died when a TV was dropped on his head at the end of the first Scream film, has shared a cryptic video on Instagram showing a hand writing a note that references one of his character's most iconic lines: 'My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!!' In the original film, Macher and Billy Loomis, the boyfriend of franchise protagonist Sidney Prescott, were revealed to be the Ghostface killers, with Sidney killing both characters at the end of the movie. Deadline reports that Lillard is returning to the long-running horror franchise, joining legacy cast members Foley, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, alongside newcomers Isabel May, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Anna Camp, Joel McHale and Mark Consuelos. Foley's Roman Bridger was shot dead by Dewey Riley in Scream 3 after he was revealed as that film's Ghostface killer. How and why Lillard and Foley's characters make a return remains a mystery – they could return as ghosts, come back from the dead or simply feature in a flashback scene. Roman faked his own death before, so it's possible that he could reprise the role in the present. Meanwhile, fans have wondered whether the pair could be returning Stu and Roman's twin brothers, based on long-held franchise rumours that Stu had a secret twin. It comes after Neve Campbell announced that she will be returning for Scream 7 after having left the franchise in June 2022 over a pay dispute with the studio. The actor, who starred as the film series' recurring protagonist Sidney Prescott across the first five films, dropped out before the sixth film explaining that the studio's offer 'did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise'. However, she said she was delighted to return, writing online: 'Sidney Prescott is coming back!!! It's always been such a blast and an honour to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned. I'm very happy and proud to say I've been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn't be more thrilled.' After finding fame from Scream, Lillard went on to voice Shaggy Rogers in the Scooby Doo live-action films, and had roles in She's All That and The Descendants. Foley went on to star in the political drama series The Girls on the Bus and played Jake Ballard in six seasons of ABC's hit drama, Scandal. The forthcoming Scream film will be directed by franchise creator Kevin Williamson and Guy Busick, who worked on the fifth and sixth films, as the writer. The long-running horror franchise previously generated four feature films including Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000) and Scream 4 (2011), directed by Wes Craven. It relaunched with the fifth instalment in 2022. The latter film saw Anora star Mikey Madison play Amber Freeman, who was revealed as Ghostface, responsible for the death of David Arquette's character Sheriff Dewey Riley. The sixth instalment of the franchise, released in 2023, saw Jenna Ortega star as Tara Carpenter, as the survivors of the Ghostface killings left Woodsboro behind and started a fresh chapter in New York City. Scream 7 will be released in February 2026.
