While discussing his charitable work at The Dempsey Center, providing free comprehensive cancer care, he opened up about potential involvement in Scream 7.

Speaking with People magazine, Dempsey expanded on his potential comeback: "In this business, you never know. But if the opportunity arises and becomes real, I'll take it seriously."
