After starring inthe bestmovie of the year,Madame Web’sCeleste O’Connorhas woven their way into a new family courtesy of Spyglass Media Group’sScream 7. The performer is just the latest name in an ever-growing call sheet that’s set to seeNeve Campbell rejoin the franchiseas final girl, Sidney Prescott, in the slasher flick that’s due out in 2026. As of right now, details surrounding O’Connor’s character haven’t been released, which only further piques our intrigue asIsabel May(1883), who wasannounced to be joining the cast just a little over one week ago, was immediately introduced as the daughter of Campbell’s Sidney Prescott. Whoever O’Connor is playing, we can’t wait to see what their new character brings to the cast of familiar and fresh faces.
It’s been a busy few years for O’Connor, who rose to prominence thanks to their role in Amazon’s 2019Tayarisha Poe-helmed feature,Selah and the Spades. In 2021, they helped resurrect another beloved film franchise with their appearance as Lucky Domingo inGhostbusters: Afterlife, a role that the entertainer reprised in this year’sGhostbusters: Frozen Empire. So, already O’Connor’s addition toScream 7is looking promising, as they have experience with entering a previously established film series and bringing their A-game. As mentioned, 2024 also saw O’Connor join the powerhouse quartet inthe most perfect movie that’s ever been made— yes, we meanMadame Web— in which they researched spiders in the Amazon alongsideDakota Johnson,Sydney Sweeney, andIsabela Merced.
What We Know About ‘Scream 7’
As forScream 7, much of the film is being kept under wraps, which fully tracks. The production team has always kept things rather tight-lipped, a practice that has gotten all the more serious over the nearly three decades since the first title slashed its way into cinemas. There’s a decent chance thatCourteney Cox will reprise her role as Gale Weathersandeven more likely that Patrick Dempsey will return to the foldfor the first time since 2000’sScream 3as Detective Mark Kincaid, who we know to be married to Campbell’s Sidney Prescott. With the overhauling following the firing ofMelissa BarreraandJenna Ortega’s decision to step back, it’s unclear how they’ll handle the younger cast, but the addition of O’Connor and May shows that a plan is taking shape. After coming up with the original idea for the franchise,Kevin Williamson will finally stand behind the cameraas the project’s director, withGuy Busickpenning the script.
