Ghostface will have to find a slew of new individuals to terrify in Scream VII, as the film's ensemble has supposedly lost both of its key leads. One day after it was revealed that series star Melissa Barrera had been fired from the seventh Scream film due to statements she made on social media concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict, Deadline reported that Jenna Ortega has also left the project. According to their sources, the two are not connected, but rather because Ortega has committed to shooting the second season of Netflix's wednesday, and the production of both wednesday and Scream VII will overlap.

Ortega portrayed Tara, the half-sister of sam Barrera, the major player in Ghostface's reappearance in Scream and Scream VI. (In both films, Sam's father is revealed to be Billy Loomis, one of the first Ghostfaces, and she is physically and symbolically haunted by him and his crimes.)
