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. Ortega’s departure was not influenced by Barrera’s firing and was in the works months ago before the SAG-AFTRA strike began.
Ortega and Barrera co-starred as sisters in the 2022 revival of “Scream” and this year’s sequel “Scream 6.” They brought life back to the dormant horror franchise along with new and returning stars, and “Scream 7” was announced with director Christopher Landon.
Deadline Hollywood broke the news.
