His character may have been killed off a couple years back but that doesn’t seem to matter in this franchise anymore. Deadline reports that David Arquette has joined Scream 7!
David Arquette’s Dewey Riley was infamously killed off in Scream back in 2022, and for what it’s worth, Deadline notes that Arquette is indeed playing Dewey in Scream 7.
How the hell is Arquette back as Dewey, Matthew Lillard back as Stu Macher, and Scott Foley back as Roman Bridger? Scream 7 is getting stranger and stranger by the week…
Deadline notes, “The trio played characters who died in the franchise and are returning in a surprise way. Details regarding how [Arquette] comes back and the film’s plot are currently under wraps.” The seventh installment will release in theaters on February 27, 2026.
It’s interesting to note that Dewey Riley, a staple of the franchise dating back to the original Scream, was killed off in Scream (2022) by Amber Freeman, played by Mikey Madison. Madison just became the first Ghostface actor to win an Academy Award this past Sunday.
Neve Campbell is back next year as Sidney Prescott alongside Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, with fellow franchise stars Matthew Lillard, Scott Foley, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown also set to return.
Franchise newcomers include Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife),
