Scream 7 is officially happening, but fans have been stunned by two unexpected exits from the new movie. Both Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, won't be returning for the new movie.
Jenna Ortega starrer Scream VI released in theaters in 2023 to a good reception. The slasher franchise will soon return for Scream 7. Here are more details about the same. Fans of the slasher franchise Scream will be excited to know that post the success of Scream VI in 2023, the series will return with Scream 7 soon.
Originally, Scream 7 was due for release sometime in 2024 but the now-resolved writers and actors strikes looks likely to have delayed that to sometime in the future.
Although Barrera and Ortega won't be in Scream 7, it's still possible that either actor could return for future installments, much in the same way Hayden Panettiere's Kirby did in Scream 6.
Campbell hasn't ultimately said goodbye to Sidney and the Scream movies, so if the studio agrees to pay her fairly, it's likely she would return as a character for Scream 7. New characters might be at the center of the current Scream story, but Campbell will always be the face of the franchise.
With the assistance of Kirby, Sam and her friends eventually discover that there are three killers this time. The masterminds this time are NYPD Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney), Sam's roommate Quinn Bailey (Liana Liberato), and shy college student Ethan Landry (Jack Champion).

Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different.
Scream 7 takes place in London during the start of the movie, it will then take place back into Woodsborro and the Wesker Studios for the rest of the movie.
Scream 7 is in early development, so the movie doesn't have a release date yet – but we might be waiting a while due to the ongoing Hollywood strikes. It is currently rumored that Scream 7is filming in Canada as of early 2024, under the working title “Blackbird,” though this is yet to be confirmed.
Jenna Ortega has dropped out of “Scream 7” due to her “Wednesday” Season 2 shooting schedule, Variety has confirmed. The news of her exit comes one day after her co-star Melissa Barrera was fired from the horror movie due to Barrera's social media posts about Israel and Palestine.
Actress Melissa Barrera has been fired from the next Scream film sequel after its makers said her pro-Palestinian social media posts were antisemitic. The star has posted regularly about the Israel-Gaza conflict, including resharing one post that accused Israel of "genocide and ethnic cleansing".
According to Deadline Hollywood, which first reported the news, Ortega's exit is due to a scheduling conflict with the second season of her Netflix series Wednesday and was discussed months ago, before the recently resolved actors' strike.
“Scream 6” rides the momentum of the previous film and ups the ante in every way. It's funnier, scarier and much much bloodier. If you aren't a fan of gore, walk into this film with some caution. The kills are more frequent and take up more screen time than ever before.
Scream VI has been released – but, sadly for fans, it's the first one without Neve Campbell. Campbell, who had played Sidney Prescott in every Scream film to date, announced in June 2021 she had quit the sixth instalment as she wasn't getting paid what she thought she deserved.
The shocking reveal at the end of Scream shows that the killers are Tara's best friend Amber and Sam's boyfriend, Richie. They were both motivated to kill to continue the Stab franchise (the horror franchise within Scream replicating the film).
Chad is one of the "Core Four" group members featured in Scream 2022 and, at one point in the film, was considered a suspect as the new Ghostface. However, Chad himself is later attacked by the masked killer, thought to have bled to death until the end of the film, where it's revealed he survived.
Consumed by his grief and convinced Kirby is lying, Detective Bailey shoots the FBI agent. That's all a ruse, as Bailey is the mastermind behind the latest Ghostface attacks. And for the first time in the franchise, there are three killers around. Bailey, Ethan, and Quinn—who is alive after all.
