AceShowbiz - Fans of "Ghostbusters" and the iconic "Scream" franchise are in for an exciting treat as McKenna Grace and Celeste O'Connor join forces in the upcoming "Scream 7". The new film promises to be a must-watch as it brings together top talents from both supernatural comedy and horror thriller genres.
According to a report by Deadline, Grace, who rose to prominence with her role in "Ghostbusters: Afterlife", is set to appear alongside her fellow "Ghostbusters" alum Celeste O'Connor.
This news follows O'Connor's own casting announcement and sets the stage for a thrilling reunion. Instead of battling free-floating vapors and ectoplasmic entities, Grace and O'Connor will undoubtedly be facing off against the infamous horror slasher, Ghostface.
Although plot details for "Scream 7" remain under wraps, fans can expect the return of the franchise's signature whodunit style, with a new menace likely taking up the Ghostface mantle.
The series, known for its box office prowess, has been a favorite among horror enthusiasts for decades. Scream VI alone grossed a staggering $166 million globally, contributing to the franchise's impressive $900 million total at the box office.
Joining the star-studded cast are newcomers Isabel May and Asa Germann, adding fresh talent to the lineup. Additionally, franchise icon Neve Campbell, known for her role as Sidney Prescott, is making a much-anticipated return after skipping the sixth installment due to a salary dispute.
However, the cast has also seen some dramatic changes, with Melissa Barrera being dropped from the project following her comments on the Israel-Palestine conflict and Jenna Ortega opting out of returning.
"Scream" creator Kevin Williamson is stepping in as director for this highly anticipated sequel, which is set to hit theaters worldwide on February 27, 2026. The presence of McKenna Grace and Celeste O'Connor has sparked excitement, especially among "Ghostbusters" fans who can now add this crossover to their must-watch list.
