The Scream franchise appears to be in limbo… which is the nicest way I can describe it. The studio fired recent lead Melissa Barrera late last year, and co-star Jenna Ortega followed Barrera out the Exit door. Sensing that he was standing on a sinking ship, Scream 7 director Christopher Landon also left the project, claiming that his dream job “turned into a nightmare.” At the moment, Scream 7 is still on the table, though once Paramount sees the comments from fans and the solidarity being shown for Barrera, Ortega and the current Scream cast, it might be wise to shelve the series for a while… if not permanently.
Let’s start with the positives. Melissa Barrera posted a group photo on her Instagram page with the current Scream cast – alive and “dead” in the current storyline. This included Jasmin Savoy, Mason Gooding, Jack Quaid, Liana Liberato, Tony Revolori, and the legendary Skeet Ulrich. Check out the photo right here:
