The latest news surrounding Scream 7 is that two of the franchise’s stars, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, will not be returning for the new movie. While it was initially believed that Barrera was fired due to her support of Palestine, the exact reasons for their departures have not been officially confirmed.

Additionally, there have been reports of a salary dispute between Jenna Ortega and the production team, which mirrors a similar situation that occurred with Neve Campbell, who plays Sidney Prescott in the franchise. This has led to speculation that Ortega’s departure may be related to financial disagreements.

On a positive note, the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott in Scream 7 is now more likely, as she will not be returning to a hit TV show and is available for the film. This news has excited fans who have been eagerly awaiting Campbell’s potential return to the franchise.

Overall, while the departures of Barrera and Ortega may have surprised fans, the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott and the change in setting offer intriguing possibilities for Scream 7. Fans are eagerly anticipating more updates as production continues on the highly anticipated film.
