The Fabelmans star Sam Rechner has been tapped to join the Scream 7 cast for the newest installment to the iconic slasher franchise. Further details about his character are still being kept under wraps.
Rechner made his acting debut in 2021 in the Australian drama titled Ruby’s Choice. A year later, he landed his first major Hollywood project in the form of The Fabelmans, in which he played the role of a bully named Logan. He was most recently seen in the second season of Netflix’s hit Australian teen show Heartbreak High, where he was one of the main characters.
Who will lead the Scream 7 cast?
Scream 7 will be led by 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 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 Rechner, Isabel May (1883), Celeste O’Connor (Madame Web), Asa Germann (The Boys: Gen V), and Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) have also joined 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.
