The Scream 7 cast continues to reach back into history, with Deadline reporting that David Arquette is reprising his role as Deputy Dewey Riley in the upcoming movie.

Arquette’s character is a fan-favorite amongst Scream fans, having been around since the original 1996 film. The character of Dewey first appeared as the older brother of Tatum Riley (Rose McGowan), and a clumsy police deputy trying to help solve the murders happening in Woodsboro.

Throughout the films, Dewey would go on to become a mainstay in the Scream films, with his character marrying Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers. In 2022’s Scream, Arquette’s Riley was killed by Ghostface. It’s currently unclear just how Dewey will return in the upcoming movie.
