Overview of Scream 7 Developments
- Anticipation is high for the upcoming Scream 7, but challenges are on the horizon.
- Mason Gooding expressed admiration for Neve Campbell and Jasmin Savoy Brown.
- Speculation surrounds the roles of Chad and Mindy in the latest installment.
The filming of Scream 7 has sparked a flurry of excitement among horror enthusiasts, as they dive into new theories surrounding Ghostface and eagerly await updates. Recently, Mason Gooding shared insights about Scream 7 during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where he discussed his upcoming project Heart Eyes, which has just released its trailer.
According to Deadline, Gooding praised Neve Campbell’s iconic portrayal of Sidney Prescott while also highlighting his co-star Jasmin Savoy Brown, who portrays his character Chad Meeks-Martin’s sister, Mindy. His remarks about Campbell underscored her pivotal role in elevating the genre:
“That’s mother right there… I feel like that’s the godmother of the genre that we are so lucky to appropriate in Heart Eyes, [which] is the idea of marrying two different tones.”

Gooding’s comparison of Scream 7 and Heart Eyes is intriguing, especially considering that Christopher Landon, who co-wrote Heart Eyes, was initially slated to direct Scream 7. However, the reins have now been handed to Kevin Williamson. Both projects are known for their blend of humor and camp, making Gooding’s observations particularly relevant.
Gooding elaborated on Campbell’s influence within the franchise, stating:
“Obviously, with the over-encompassing one being a more horrific and more high-octane experience that she still to this day has always handled with a level of ease and care and stoicism that’s made each iteration of her character, and I can say all of her work.”
Furthermore, Gooding expressed his gratitude for being paired with Jasmin Savoy Brown. He described their casting as siblings as “a gift,”emphasizing the strong rapport they developed while on set:
“I feel like being able to step into a character that has been inundated with so much love, on set and in general, has allowed Jasmine and I to fall into a rhetoric that’s super comfortable for us.”
As the anticipation for Scream 7 builds, fans speculate on the potential roles of Chad and Mindy, the last two remaining members of the “Core Four.”Gooding’s rising profile in the horror genre—bolstered by both his role as Chad and his part in Heart Eyes—has given enthusiasts high hopes for an engaging narrative in the upcoming film.
Chad’s character exhibited a more passive demeanor in Scream (2022), leaning on his sister Mindy for genre expertise. Yet, as the new narrative unfolds in New York City, his previous close encounter with death in Scream 6 may drive him to take a more proactive stance against Ghostface.
While specific details about their current situation in Scream 7 remain unknown, fans speculate that Chad and Mindy will connect with longstanding characters such as Sidney, highlighting a collaborative effort against their notorious foe. The release date for Scream 7 is set for February 27, 2026, and more details about Chad’s development in the storyline will soon emerge.
