Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott is married in the upcoming Scream 7, and her husband, a guy named Mark who will very likely get murdered at some point in the film, will be played by Joel McHale (pictured above as Jeff-Winger [dressed as David Beckham], holding a drink for Gillian Jacobs’ Britta Perry [dressed as a T-Rex], on Community.)
Deadline broke the news that McHale is with the rest of the cast, including Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding, Isabel May, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, and Anna Camp, who are now shooting the film in Atlanta.
Details on the plot for Scream 7 remain largely unknown, though we do know that May plays the daughter of Sidney and, presumably, Mark. The script comes from Guy Busick (Abigail, 2022’s Scream, Scream VI), and the movie is directed by Kevin Williamson, who penned the script for 1996’s Scream, the movie that started the franchise.
McHale is currently starring in the Fox series Animal Control and has a guest appearance coming up in season three of Yellowjackets. He’s also due to play Jeff Winger once again (pictured above) when the Community movie finally (finally!) gets off the ground. We don’t what kind of husband his character, Mark, will be in Scream 7, but I wouldn’t get too attached to him as he’ll very probably/almost definitely get killed.
Scream 7 is currently set to scare its way into theaters on February 27, 2026. That’s right, 2026, a whole year and change from now.
