Jack Quaid addresses the possibility of reprising his role in the highly anticipated Scream 7 is set to arrive in theaters on February 27, 2026.

In a recent interview with ET Online, Quaid responded to questions about his potential involvement in Scream 7. Quaid’s Ghostface reveal in Scream was an interesting twist for the slasher franchise, largely due to his established reputation as an awkward, yet charming actor in roles like The Boys and Star Trek: Lower Decks. His latest role in Companion continues to weaponize his "nice guy" persona. Read what he had to say below:

I don’t know for sure, yet. I don’t know... I’ll keep my mouth closed on that one.

What This Means For Scream 7

A Killer Lineup Continues To Grow

Quaid’s ability to subvert expectations made his Ghostface reveal one of the most unnerving in the Scream franchise. His transformation from the sweet and awkward boyfriend to a sadistic and calculated murderer was disturbingly effective—something that also applies to his role in Companion. In Drew Hancock's latest horror comedy, Quaid plays a seemingly charming boyfriend whose true nature is far more sinister, a role he himself has described as being “cut from the same cloth” as his Ghostface killer (via CinemaBlend).

Scream 7 is already set to bring back several major franchise survivors and killers. Alongside Campell's Sidney, Courtney Cox and David Arquette are also reprising their roles. This is in spite of Arquette’s Dewey being killed off in Scream by Mikey Madison’s Ghostface, who was the equally disturbed girlfriend of Quaid's Ritchie. In more surprising news, Matthew Lillard is set to return as one of the original Scream killers, Stu Macher. Scream 3’s Ghostface, Roman Bridger, may not be far behind, as Scott Foley has ed the cast of Scream 7 in a yet-to-be-revealed role.

Our Take On Jack Quaid In Scream 7

Does Scream Have Room for Another Ghostface?

Quaid has proven his talent for flipping from lovable everyman to cold-blooded killer in an instant. While this ability continues to shock audiences, the surprise factor surely diminishes over time as more people recognize his range. If he were to return in Scream 7, he wouldn’t be able to deliver the same jaw-dropping twist that made his Ghostface reveal in Scream so effective. I think Quaid would still be a fun addition to Scream 7 as he always brings a comedic edge to his characters that could spice up a quick flashback or cameo.
