Ethan Embry Is Doing That 'Scream 7' Thing
The world is on fire, so maybe Woodsboro should be a little more Embry
Dang, if you thought the drip of Scream 7 casting news was going to stop with the returns of two previous Ghostfaces, it was not. Ethan Embry, known for starring in films like That Thing You Do! and First Man is yet another to join the horror sequel from Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media.
Plot and character details continue to be unavailable and kept to the chest. Embry’s other previous film credits include Blindspotting, Can’t Hardly Wait, Empire Records and Sweet Home Alabama. His most successful and well-known series regular role is Netflix’s Grace and Frankie as Coyote Bergstein across all seven seasons and might be just as known as Greg Mendell, fka Owen Flynn, ultimately a pawn of Peter Pan in the second (and briefly third) season(s) of Once Upon a Time. He was the voice of Max Dillon aka Electro on MTV’s Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, played Johnny Thunder, JSA member and original bearer of Thunderbolt on Stargirl and Arthur Brown on Gotham Knights.
Former Ghostfaces Scott Foley And Matthew Lillard Returning For 'Scream 7'
Ain’t that a shot in the head? Matthew Lillard, who played Stu Macher, half the original Ghostface team in the 1996 slasher Scream, and Scott Foley, the Felicity star who made his film debut as Roman Bridger in Scream 3, are returning for the now-Paramount/Spyglass franchise’s seventh installment,
Embry joins Neve Campbell’s return as Sidney Prescott, this time involving her husband, Mark Evans played by Joel McHale and her daughter played by Isabel May. She reunites with Courteney Cox as Gale, as well as Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding as her late friend Randy’s twin niece and nephew Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. Scott Foley and Matthew Lillard are the most recent confirmed returnees, though it’s not abundantly clear whether it’s as their expected characters Roman Bridger and Stu Macher, who are both part of the Ghostface lineage. Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, McKenna Grace, Anna Camp and Sam Rechner still don’t have names for their characters revealed either, though Camp and Rechner are reportedly playing mother and son. Mark Consuelos is by those same sources playing Robbie, a news reporter.
Kevin Williamson, who of the original four Wes Craven-directed films only missed out on writing the third, is back to direct but is not writing this film. He replaces the departed Christopher Landon. Guy Busick, who wrote Scream and Scream VI with James Vanderbilt is going solo this time while Vanderbilt is busy with other commitments. Vanderbilt, representing Project X Entertainment with William Sherak and Paul Neinstein are producing with Radio Silence, the directors of the fifth and sixth installments, serving as executive producers. A $900 million franchise, it’s coming off its highest performance yet, with the franchise domestic box office record with more than $108 million and more than $169 million globally. Scream 7 is set to be released in theaters on February 27, 2026.
