Samantha Carpenter (Melissa Barrera)

“She has lived through certain things that make her a very complicated human being… I’ve just been reading the script over and over again, finding different things in it, reading in between the lines and discovering new things every time I read it.” — Melissa Barrera to W Magazine, Sept. 2020

Sam left Woodsboro the moment she turned 18, hoping to leave her trauma behind. But when a new wave of murders pulls her back home, even heavy medication may not be enough to quiet the voices — or the questions about her sanity.

Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega)

“With this role I just want to do the franchise justice. It has left such a massive impact on the genre and means so much to such a large quantity of people, I want this character to be someone they can embrace and accept into their community. All while of course paying respects to the immaculate world that the great Wes Craven and original cast have already created.  There’s a lot of pressure entering Woodsboro, but if anything that’s the way it should be. I just want to do it right.” – Jenna Ortega to Fault Magazine, Oct. 2020.

Tara has abandonment issues — her sister vanished, her mother drank — so she created her own family with her close-knit group of friends. But when Ghostface strikes again, that family may not be enough to save her.

Richie Kirsch (Jack Quaid)

“All I know is that when a character intrigues me, I become obsessed with figuring out what makes him tick.” – Jack Quaid to Schön, Oct. 2020.

Richie is the sensitive boyfriend — loyal, caring, and kind. He and Sam work together at the local bowling alley. But in Scream, being a “good guy” doesn’t always mean you’ll survive.

Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown)

A proud Meeks by blood or bond, Mindy knows her Woodsboro history. Confident and unfiltered, she has little patience for anything that lacks originality — especially when it comes with pink hair.

Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding)

Mindy’s twin brother and Liv’s boyfriend, Chad has one thing on his mind — and according to his uncle Randy, that’s a guaranteed death sentence in a horror movie.

Liv McKenzie (Sonia Ben Ammar)

Liv’s family once lived across the street from the Beckers — the site of Scream’s infamous opening. Artsy and close to Tara, she’s about to learn that history doesn’t stay buried in Woodsboro.

Amber Freeman (Mikey Madison)

Amber is Tara’s closest friend. But her icy relationship with Sam and possessiveness over Tara suggest something deeper — maybe something darker.

Wes Hicks (Dylan Minnette)

The rule-following son of Deputy Judy Hicks wants nothing to do with the blood-soaked legacy of Woodsboro. Unfortunately for Wes, fate — and Ghostface — rarely care about boundaries.

Vince (Kyle Gallner)

“What I found really, really cool about the script is there’s a lot of that kind of magic that the first one had, which is really cool. I think the people who love the original are gonna really dig this.” – Kyle Gallner to Collider, Oct. 2020.

A mysterious outsider with a connection to Woodsboro’s past. He may be more tied to the original murders than he’s letting on…
