The highly awaited Scream 7 casts another actor in a new role 

The highly anticipated Scream 7 is currently in the works, and the star-studded cast has just been joined by another high-profile actor in a role not revealed to fans yet.

The slasher film franchise, which has successfully gone on for almost three decades, is ready for its seventh film, which will be led by stars like Courtney Cox, Neve Campbell, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown. Joining the cast is day-time host and Riverdale actor Mark Consuelos, although his role is currently not known.

Consuelos played Hiram Lodge on Riverdale and has gained prominence for hosting the talk show Live with Kelly and Mark. Being a part of Scream 7 will definitely be a big break for Consuelos, and fans are excited to see what role he will be cast in and how it will add to the story of Scream 7.

Being created by Spyglass and Paramount Pictures, the filming is currently in progress and is expected to be released on February 27, 2026, if everything goes well. The delays surrounding the film have been related to Jenna Ortega's departure from the franchise, Melissa Barrera's firing, and creative differences among the crew.

Nevertheless, the film is moving forward now successfully and fans can't wait to go back to the world of one of the scariest horror-slasher films of the genre.
