The status of Scream 7 remains shrouded in uncertainty as original plans for the franchise’s next installment appear to have been abandoned. Major changes include Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega no longer in starring roles, Christopher Landon stepping down as the director, and Neve Campbell awaiting the “right circumstances” for her return.

The once-established “core four” featuring Barrera, Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding seems to have disbanded, leaving questions about the potential return of the “core two” (Savoy Brown & Gooding) in Scream 7.

During an interview on the Emmy Awards red carpet, Jasmin Savoy Brown, a key figure in the franchise, disclosed that she has not received any calls regarding her involvement in Scream 7. She suggested directing inquiries about the project’s status to Spyglass, stating, “I haven’t gotten a call.”

In the interview, Savoy Brown expressed appreciation for the original “core four,” emphasizing its significance and the pride she feels for portraying four people of color in a horror film. She remains proud of their collective contribution to the genre.

As details about Scream 7 continue to unfold, it is noteworthy that the movie lacks not only a star but also a director, signifying the challenges ahead for its production. The latest information indicates that James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick are still attached to write the script. Stay tuned for further updates on the developments surrounding Scream 7.
