In a thrilling update to the iconic Scream franchise, actor Scott Foley has joined the cast of Scream 7.

The much-awaited sequel is directed by Kevin Williamson, who has brought back fan-favorite actors Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox. Campbell will reprise her role as Sidney Prescott, while Cox returns as Gale Weathers.

According to Deadline, Foley has now confirmed his participation in the film.

Scott Foley’s History with Scream

Foley is perhaps best known for his role as Roman Bridger in Scream 3, directed by Wes Craven. In that film, Roman, Sidney’s half-brother, is unmasked as the Ghostface killer. He is later eliminated by David Arquette’s Dewey, leaving the question open as to whether Foley will reprise this role in Scream 7.

Alternatively, it’s possible that Foley’s character could be featured through flashbacks. This approach would allow the filmmakers to explore the ghostly mystery without revealing his fate in the new timeline.

His Biography

A versatile actor, Foley has contributed to both film and television with a notable career spanning several decades. His filmography includes Stealing Time (2001), Below (2002), and Naked (2017). Foley has also appeared in popular television series such as Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, Scrubs, The Unit, Grey’s Anatomy, True Blood, Scandal, Whiskey Cavalier, The Big Leap, and The Girls on the Bus.
