Mckenna Grace is the latest to join the cast of Scream 7

by

As a seasoned horror enthusiast with over two decades of chilling experiences under my belt, I must confess that the news of Scream 7 has left me feeling a bit like a ghost myself – lost and wandering aimlessly through the hallowed halls of my favorite franchises.

As a devoted horror enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the stellar cast of “Scream 7” has expanded yet again, with the brilliant Mckenna Grace joining the ranks. Recognizable from her roles in spine-tingling projects such as “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Annabelle Comes Home,” and the two latest “Ghostbusters” films – “Afterlife” and “Frozen Empire” – she’s a true talent that horror fans will be eager to see in action!

According to Deadline, Grace, along with actors such as Asa Germann, Isabel May, and Celeste O’Connor, has been added to the cast for an upcoming project. However, specific details about their characters and the general plot of the film are being kept confidential at this time.

So far, what we’ve learned about Scream 7 primarily involves Neve Campbell reprising her role as final girl Sidney Prescott. The character May, famously known for her roles in Yellowstone spinoffs like 1883 and 1923, is set to portray Sidney’s daughter, but no other details regarding the new characters have been disclosed yet.

In a groundbreaking move, “Scream 7” is set to hit theaters on February 26, 2026. For the first time ever in the series, original screenwriter Kevin Williamson will be taking the director’s chair. The script for this meta-slasher film has been penned by Guy Busick.

Despite the success of “Scream 6” at the box office in 2023, the franchise has been marred by controversy following the dismissal of star Melissa Barrera by production company Spyglass Media Group. This move led to Jenna Ortega leaving the project as well. It seems unlikely that any of the newer main characters from the last two films, who managed to survive, such as Jasmin Savoy-Brown and Mason Gooding (portraying twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin), will return.

With Barrera’s dismissal casting a shadow over the film series, a move that leaves many fans dissatisfied, it’s challenging to muster much enthusiasm for the seventh film. This is particularly difficult given our high anticipation for what was to unfold in the story of Sam (Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Ortega).

It seems that Scream 7 is rumored to be a kind of soft reboot, concentrating on the original characters from the series. However, the franchise had already attempted this with Scream 5. It’s challenging to understand how this movie will offer something fresh without becoming repetitive.

As a die-hard fan here, I’m beyond excited about Grace’s upcoming projects! Apart from the chilling slasher film, she’s got some real gems lined up, such as the mind-bending psychological thriller titled “Straight Lies”, and the next adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s work, “Regretting You”. Can’t wait to see her magic on screen!
