Even though not every character from past Scream movies will appear in this one, one surprising name has now been confirmed. A character who most people felt was impossible is set to return, but this new addition to the cast risks making Scream 7 messy.

Scream is still one of the most iconic and talked-about horror franchises in the slasher genre. Even if you’re not into horror, you’ve probably heard of Ghostface, and with each movie, there’s a new killer behind the mask.

Here’s a look at the cast of the Scream franchise, with Matthew Lillard returning as Ghostface killer Stu Macher from the original film.

Stu Macher, Roman Bridger, and Dewey Riley are coming back to Scream 7 along with several other legacy characters, and maybe these ones could, too.

Scream 7 will mark the returns of several characters, including Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), Roman Bridger (Scott Foley), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette). How they will factor into the plot of the movie is unclear — Deadline notes the trio of characters are “returning in a surprise way.”

Birmingham native Courteney Cox is in the neighboring state of Georgia to portray her most iconic big-screen character for the seventh time.

The "Scream" franchise has never lacked for imagination, but the writers of "Scream 7" will have their hands full after the latest revelation. Deadline is reporting that the newest installment of the horror movie franchise will bring back a character who died during the last movie.

David Arquette reprising the role of Deputy Dewey in 'Scream 7' alongside Scott Foley & Matthew Lillard, all of whose characters have died.

Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, who appeared in the fifth and six installments as siblings, are also coming back. New cast members include Isabel May, Mark Consuelos, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner and Anna Camp.

David Arquette will officially reprise his role as Dewey Riley from the first five “Scream” movies in the upcoming seventh installment of the horror franchise. It’s not yet clear exactly how this is possible,
