Matthew Lillard Returns for Scream 7
Deadline reports that Matthew Lillard, the unforgettable antagonist Stuart "Stu" Macher from the original 1996 Scream, will star in Scream 7.
This news has fans buzzing, especially considering Stu's demise in the first film. Will Lillard reprise his iconic role, or take on a new character? The mystery remains, though Lillard himself hinted at his involvement via an Instagram post (embedded below).
The reunion is partially complete, with Lillard joining Neve Campbell (reprising her role as Sidney Prescott), and Courteney Cox in Scream 7. Scott Foley, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown are also confirmed cast members.
This is significant news for a film that faced considerable production hurdles. Melissa Barrera's departure from the project in November 2023 followed by Jenna Ortega's non-return (both Carpenter sisters from the 2022 and 2023 films) left the production reeling. Both exits stemmed from separate controversies.

Radio Silence, the directing duo behind Scream and Scream 6, announced their departure in August 2023, though they remain as executive producers. Guy Busick, co-writer of the previous two installments, returns to pen the screenplay for Scream 7.
Scream 7 is slated for release on February 27, 2026.
