Scream 7 'adds 1923 star Michelle Randolph to cast'

Michelle Randolph joins Scream 7 cast

Michelle Randolph and Jimmy Tatro have reportedly signed up for 'Scream 7'.

The two stars are the latest names to be attached to the upcoming seventh film the iconic horror franchise, which will see the returns of the likes of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.

According to Deadline, the pair have joined the cast, although their role are not yet known.

Randolph recently rose to fame in Paramount+ series 'Landman' in a breakout performance as Ainsley Norris, the daughter of Billy Bob Thornton's character Tommy Norris.

She also appears in 'Yellowstone' spin-off '1923', while 'Scream 7' will be her first major film since 'Landman' first aired.

Tatro has appeared in the likes of 'Home Economics', 'The Real Bros of Simi Valley' and 'Theatre Camp'.

He will next appear with Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon in Amazon Studios comedy 'You're Cordially Invited'.

It was recently reported that Arquette will be back for 'Scream 7' as police officer Dewey Riley, despite his character being brutally killed off in the 2022 revival.

However, he is set to make a return for the upcoming seventh instalment.

It's not yet known how writers will bring the character back into the fold, but both Scott Foley (Roman Bridger) and Matthew Lillard (Stu Macher) are also reviving their own deceased characters in the film.

Matthew previously revealed there was a version of 'Scream 3' which would have revealed he had survived in the original film, but plans for him to return were changed at the last minute.

He told Vulture in 2022: “I was supposed do' Scream 3'. I got paid for '3'. Not really well, but I ended up getting paid for something I didn’t do because the idea was that I’d be running high-school killers from jail.

"Look, it’s a horror movie! Crazy things happen all the time. Have you seen 'Friday the 13th'? Jason comes back — like Stu still could come back."

And David isn't the only 'Scream' icon back in the fold, with Neve Campbell, 51, reprising her role as Sidney Prescott, while Courteney Cox, 60, is also returning as Gale Weathers.

Courteney previously admitted she was hoping to see her ex-husband David return as Dewey, despite his character being killed off in the 2022 revival.

She told Variety: "I understand the reasons they did it, but whoa! Talk about a missed character. Dewey is so loved by ‘Scream’ fans. They have to figure it out.”

Kevin Williamson - who wrote the script for the first 'Scream' in 1996 - is directing a film in the series for the first time after replacing Christopher Landon.

Courtney added at the time: "You can't get better than that choice. It's going to be fun."
