Neither Melissa Barrera norย Jenna Ortegaย are going to be working onย Scream 7ย anymore, but that doesn’t mean they’re done working together. Barrera and Ortega first worked together onย Scream 5ย (2022) and its sequel,ย Scream 6ย (2023). They were both let go from the franchise a few months ago, butย Melissa Barreraย has said she “would love” to work with Ortega again. Since they’re both horror fans, the chances of them running into each other on some horror project or another are pretty high if Barrera is to be believed.

Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega first began working together onย Scream 5ย in 2022, where they played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter, respectively. They would reprise their roles in the movie’s direct sequel,ย Scream 6(2023), and their friendship grew naturally as a result. Barrera and Ortega were both meant to star inย Scream 7ย as well, but Melissa Barrera was let go from the project after she sharedย pro-Palestinian beliefsย on her social media. Not long after that, Jenna Ortega also leftย Scream 7, reportedly because of failed negotiations. Without its newest leads, theย Screamย franchise has brought back old-timer Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell).

Even though they aren’t working together anymore, the dynamic duo are still friends. Barrera is holding out hope that they’ll work together again someday, according to a statement she gaveย ComicBook:

“I would love to work with [Jenna Ortega] again. I do know that she does love horror, so it would probably be in something horror again that we would probably find each other again. She’s incredible, and she’s genuinely a horror fan, so I know she’s constantly looking out for these projects. I think if we were to do something together again, it would definitely be horror.”

At the moment, you can catch Melissa Barrera inย Abigail, releasing later this month, and Jenna Ortega inย Miller’s Girl.ย Aside from theย Screamย movies, some of Barrera’s previous projects includeย Vidaย (2018) andย In the Heightsย (2021), while Ortega is, of course, known for her leading role in Netflix’sย Wednesday.ย Scream 7ย doesn’t currently have a release date, but stay tuned for more news as production continues.

My name is Taylor Coffman, and I'm a writer and creative at heart - I graduated college with a degree in creative writing, and for as long as I can remember, I've loved all sorts of nerdy pursuits - superheroes, comic books, Dungeons & Dragons - you name it, I've done it. I enjoy staying up-to-date on the latest news about new season releases, upcoming movies, and new game releases.
