Scream 7: How The Upcoming Horror Sequel Can Mention The Core Four Characters

Key Takeaways

  • Sidney is back for Scream 7, but the Core Four is broken up, sparking theories on how to include them.
  • Connecting Sidney’s family to the Core Four in Scream 7 even without the original actors creates a strong link.
  • Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy-Brown’s uncertain return creates suspense, but fans hope to see Chad and Mindy in the sequel.

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for horror movies from the 90s, I can’t help but get a thrill thinking about the upcoming Scream 7. I mean, who doesn’t love a good guilty pleasure? And when it comes to slashers, Sidney Prescott and Ghostface are undoubtedly the cream of the crop.

I’ve always had a soft spot for ’90s horror movies, finding the cheesy entertainment aspect irresistible as a guilty pleasure. Among these, Scream stands out as my preferred slasher from that era. I find Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) an incredibly compelling final girl and Ghostface one of the most captivating villains due to their distinctive costume and longevity. It’s not hard to understand why I eagerly await Scream 7, set to hit theaters on February 27th, 2026. With plenty of time until its release, my mind is buzzing with potential plotlines and character theories.

Even though Sidney is set to return, it feels like the close-knit group of Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding), Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown), Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), and Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) have been on a temporary hiatus since Ortega and Barrera won’t be reprising their roles. But does this mean we won’t see them at all in Scream 7? I’ve been thinking, there might just be a clever way to keep the Core Four intact while moving forward with these captivating characters.

How I Think Scream 7 Can Use Mindy, Chad, Sam, and Tara

It remains undecided whether Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy-Brown will reprise their roles as Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin in “Scream 7”. However, if these characters do not return, there’s an interesting angle to explore. Here’s a suggestion: what if Sidney’s children are somehow linked to the Core Four?

Establishing a connection among “Scream (2022)”, “Scream 6”, and “Scream 7” could be achieved by setting the plot in a location where Sidney resides, possibly her hometown of Woodsboro, although it’s plausible she might have moved back. If this is the case, characters like Tara, Sam, or Mindy could act as babysitters or tutors for Sidney’s children, thus maintaining a relationship. Chad and Mindy could also provide educational assistance to Sidney’s kids in some capacity. This way, these characters can be included in the story without requiring the actors to reappear.

Even though it remains uncertain which theories about “Scream 7” will prove accurate, should any of the speculations hold true, I am convinced that Sidney will refer to Sam, Tara, Chad, and Mindy in at least one scene if their actors don’t reprise their roles. Given their sharp intellects and keen insights, it would be a waste not to include such references. Moreover, it seems illogical to develop four intriguing new characters only to abandon them entirely without any mention or follow-up.

If Chad and Mindy join the Core Four group, linking them with Sidney’s family is another viable option. An entertaining scene could unfold where Chad and Mindy take care of Sidney’s children while Ghostface appears, seeking out Sidney. Given that many terrifying movies revolve around babysitting due to the eerie sensation of characters being alone in a large house during the night, this setup would undoubtedly create an exciting horror sequence.

In Scream 6, Chad narrowly escaped death, and this shared experience with his sister mirrors what Sidney has endured. As a result, Sidney might serve as a guide for them in Scream 7. Since Sidney was close friends with Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy), Chad and Mindy could discuss their late uncle with her, creating a touching moment amidst the intense action and gore that is characteristic of the series.

What Did Mason Gooding And Jasmin Savoy-Brown Say About Coming Back For Scream 7?

As enthusiasts of “Scream 7” eagerly anticipate further casting updates, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown have been inquired about reprising their roles for the horror sequel during interviews. I personally can’t wait to catch up with Sidney, learning more about her present life given her status as a renowned final girl. However, I’m equally excited to see Chad and Mindy back on screen, as they bring intelligence and charm to their characters.

By March 2024, Gooding had expressed uncertainty about the likelihood of Scream 7, admitting to Variety that he wasn’t well-informed on the subject.

“We’re in limbo, waiting on those with decision-making power. It’s all about staying attuned to what seems like the most favored movie for fans. The existence of ‘Scream’ is deeply rooted in its passionate audience. If there’s demand, they’ll strive tirelessly to make it a reality.

A few months earlier, in January 2024, Brown told Entertainment Tonight:

“I haven’t gotten a call. If you want to ask Spyglass what they’re doing, you can.”

I’m looking forward to finding out if the horror sequel might reintroduce Dewey Riley (David Arquette), but I believe it’s essential that Chad and Mindy make a comeback as well. I’ll definitely keep an eye on any updates regarding Scream 7 casting announcements.
