The dossier

The heart of the core four

Chad Meeks-Martin inherits the legacy of his uncle, Randy Meeks, but updates the archetype for a new generation. He is not just the "rules" guy; he is athletic, fiercely protective of his friends, and deeply emotionally intelligent.

Mason Gooding brings an incredible, golden-retriever energy to the role. Chad is genuinely sweet and relentlessly optimistic, completely refusing to let the horrific trauma of Woodsboro break the bond he shares with the "Core Four."

He is arguably the most resilient survivor in the Scream franchise, surviving an impossible number of stab wounds. Chad proves that modern horror characters don’t have to choose between being the smart nerd and the heroic jock.
