Scream 7 Is Coming: Here's Who Fans Want in the New Cast
via National Today
According to National Today, Scream 7 is officially on its way, with a fresh look at the franchise's legacy setting the stage for what could be the most hotly debated installment yet.
Why Scream 7 Has the Fancasting World Buzzing
The Scream franchise has always been a fancasting playground. Its formula — a mix of legacy characters, fresh blood, and a masked killer whose identity stays secret until the final act — means every new entry comes loaded with casting questions. Who's coming back? Who's the new Ghostface? Which up-and-coming star gets the iconic phone call this time?
Scream 7 raises the stakes even higher. After the franchise-reshuffling events of the last two films, the door is wide open for new characters, returning favorites, and some genuinely surprising choices. Whether you want to see the original survivors make one last stand or a full generational handoff to a new ensemble, there's a casting argument to be made — and fans on myCast are already making it.
What myCast Fans Are Saying Right Now
The myCast community has been all over this franchise, and the data tells a fascinating story. The most-voted Scream fan cast on the platform is the Scream story, which has racked up 115 total votes across 15 roles — and the picks are bold. Dacre Montgomery dominates the Billy Loomis slot with a massive 41 votes, more than any other single pick across all Scream stories on the platform. That's a serious mandate from fans who clearly want the Stranger Things breakout to channel some original Ghostface energy.
Beyond Montgomery, fans in that same story have rallied behind Dylan O'Brien for Dewey Riley with 18 votes, Hailee Steinfeld for Sidney Prescott with 16 votes, and Alexandra Daddario for Gale Weathers with 10 votes. Rounding out the ensemble, Kathryn Newton has 8 votes for Casey Becker and Gianni DeCenzo picks up 8 votes for Randy Meeks — a fun nod to his Stranger Things connection to O'Brien, intentional or not.
Over on the dedicated Scream 7 fan cast, the conversation shifts toward legacy. Fans are making the case for the originals to return: Neve Campbell for Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox for Gale Weathers-Riley, and David Arquette for Dwight Riley all show up with votes. There's also real enthusiasm for the behind-the-camera side, with Kevin Williamson and Christopher Landon both getting fan votes as director and producer picks — which says a lot about how invested the community is in getting the creative team right, not just the cast.
A second Scream 7 story takes a different approach entirely, building out a potential new ensemble with picks like Jessica Rothe as Sammy Ryan, Rachel Zegler as Fiona Felipe, Katherine Langford as Erin Bridger, and Judy Greer as Leslie Macher — a fascinating roster that leans into horror-savvy actresses with serious genre credibility.
The Case for Old Blood, New Blood, and Everything In Between
What makes the Scream 7 casting conversation so compelling is that there's no wrong answer. The franchise has successfully threaded the needle between nostalgia and reinvention before, and the fan picks on myCast reflect both impulses. The legacy crowd wants Campbell, Cox, and Arquette back — and honestly, after the way Scream VI handled Dewey's absence, there's a strong argument for bringing the whole original trio home. But the new ensemble picks, especially the Rothe-Zegler-Langford combo, suggest fans are equally excited about a fresh chapter that stands on its own.
Dacre Montgomery's dominant vote total is the number that sticks with me. Forty-one votes for a Billy Loomis reimagining tells you fans aren't just thinking about sequels — they're dreaming about what a full franchise reset could look like with today's talent. That's the kind of creative energy that makes fancasting genuinely fun.
