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.
Star Melissa Barrera, known for playing Sam Carpenter in both 2022's Scream and 2023's Scream VI, was fired for comments made on social media. Her co-star, Jenna Ortega, was announced to have left one day later – though seemingly for unrelated reasons.

Who is the new final girl in Scream 6?
Per Alamo Drafthouse's website, the Scream 6 synopsis begins by referring to Jenna Ortega's Tara as the new "final girl" and reveals that her sister Sam will pretend to be Ghostface.
The Mexican actress was dropped from the next 'Scream' movie this week for social media posts that the production company called antisemitic. Melissa Barrera condemned antisemitism and Islamophobia in her first public remarks since producers fired her from “Scream VII” earlier this week.
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.
This was confirmed by Bettinelli-Olpin in a January 2022 interview. Campbell admitted to being unaware that the husband named Mark was actually Dempsey's character. The fifth film reveals Sidney became a mother of three children between the events of the fourth and fifth films, set ten years apart.
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).
Scream 7 may add in the craziest twist of all by making Scream's final girl Sam Carpenter the Ghostface killer. The Scream franchise has had a lot of shocking Ghostface killers, though Sam would be the most jaw-dropping.
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.
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.
The day after news of Barrera's firing broke, Deadline reported that Ortega will not be starring in Scream 7 either — although her exit is reportedly not linked to Barrera's dismissal.
Actor Jenna Ortega will not be returning for Scream 7, the forthcoming installment in the long-running Scream horror movie franchise, Deadline reports. According to the outlet, Ortega's departure is due to the shooting schedule for Netflix's massively successful series Wednesday, in which she stars as Wednesday Addams.
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. Sam is Billy's daughter, and throughout Scream 5 and Scream 6, she's battled with her identity and figuring out if she is more like her dad than she thinks.
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.
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).
In 2010, Sam discovered Mr. Carpenter wasn't her biological father and exposed it to the whole family, causing him to leave. After that, Sam still stayed with Tara and Christina for 5–6 more years, going on a downward spiral whilst reading her real father Billy Loomis's diary.
Popular on Variety. David Arquette admits seeing “Scream 6” wasn't easy after his beloved Dewey character was killed off in the fifth installment of the horror franchise. “It was hard for me to do it, but I also knew I wanted to see it,” the actor told me Thursday at the premiere of his new Peacock series, “Mrs.
She is Sidney Prescott's egotistical and jealous cousin who wants to become famous just like her. To accomplish this, Jill becomes the next Ghostface and pretends to be a surviving victim of the very massacre she creates.
When Casey answers incorrectly, Steve is disemboweled on her porch and she is asked another question to save her own life. When she refuses to answer, Ghostface chases her down and kills her, leaving her disemboweled and hanged from a tree, where she is discovered by her mother Mrs. Becker.
M.O. Ghostface first appeared in Scream (1996) as a disguise used by teenagers Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), during their killing spree in the fictional town of Woodsboro.
