Scream 5 (2022)
Chad was part of the Woodsboro High Football Team and won the heart of Liv McKenzie.
When a new Ghostface entity strikes, Chad immediately suspects Vince Schneider who had stalked Liv's Instagram, having previously been in a relationship with her. When Vince attempts to steal Liv back, Chad threatens him. Vince is later murdered, making Chad a suspect.
He is later attacked by Amber after trying to track down Liv at Wes Hicks' memorial party at Amber Freeman's house. After being stabbed seemingly to death and left to bleed out, he was somehow resuscitated, and appears in medical emergency recovery in his last frame.
Scream VI (2023)
Chad attends a Halloween frat party with Ethan, Tara, Mindy, and her girlfriend, Anika Kayoko, and is called in as a reinforcement when Tara is groomed by a date-raper student, Frankie, who wants to take advantage of her. Chad gets into a physical altercation with the student and the fight is broken up by Sam who tases the student in the testicles. Chad leaves the party with the rest of the group and witnesses Sam being ambushed by internet users who believe she framed Richie and Amber for the 26th Woodsboro Legacy Murders, approximately thirteen months prior in September 2022.
Chad returns to Sam and Tara's apartment, which they share with roommate, Quinn Bailey, and comforts Tara before confessing his feelings for her. He leans in for a kiss, but they are interrupted by Quinn who is looking for her phone. Chad and the rest of the group watch a news report on the murders of Jason Carvey and Greg Bruckner. The next afternoon, Chad joins Mindy and the rest of the group where Mindy discusses the rules about the "sequel to the requel".
The group gather for dinner that night and Chad nicknames the survivors the "core four". When they are ambushed by Ghostface, who murders Quinn, Chad and Tara are able to escape while Mindy, Sam and Anika are forced to escape through Quinn's bedroom through a window using a ladder and Anika is thrown off the ladder to her death. In the aftermath, Chad accuses Ethan of being the killer as he was the only one not with the group that night, but backs off after Ethan gives an alibi.
Gale Weathers then reunites with the group and takes them to a shrine allegedly built by Jason and Greg which is dedicated to Ghostface. When Wayne Bailey, Quinn's father, devises a plan to trace the killer, Chad hides in a police van with Mindy, Ethan and Kirby Reed while Kirby tracks down a phone call from Ghostface. When Gale is later attacked by Ghostface, Chad goes to her apartment building's lobby with the rest of the group and Tara comes up with a plan to trap Ghostface and Wayne instructs them to travel in public.
The group board a subway, but are separated from Ethan and Mindy after they are held back by commuters. When they arrive at the shrine, Sam sends her boyfriend, Danny Brackett, away while the rest of the group hide inside.
When the group arrives at the theatre, he confesses his feelings for Tara and kisses her. As soon as he could kiss her again, Ghostface arrives and stabs Tara on the back of her shoulder. Chad then knocks down Ghostface telling Tara to run. As they are running, Sam gets in the way in which Chad tells her to run. As they are running, Ghostface catches up with them, but Chad knocks him down, but a second Ghostface comes and stabs him. They stab Chad multiple times and then leave him for the dead.
Chad's fate is unknown until he is rolled out of the theatre on a stretcher, still alive. Tara and Sam run over to greet him joyfully, with Tara kissing Chad. Mindy shows up after and goes in the ambulance with him to the hospital.
