Scream Star Isn’t Sure if She’ll Return for 7th Movie: ‘I Haven’t Gotten a Call’

Scream’s Jasmin Savoy Brown isn’t sure whether or not she’ll return for the seventh movie in the franchise.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the Emmy Awards on Sunday, January 14, 2024, Brown was asked what she wanted fans to know about the current status of the Scream franchise.

“I think that everything that we did, the Core Four, is amazing, and important, and should be celebrated forever,” she said. “I’m glad that we got to capture that on screen. I’m proud to have four people of color in that horror film.”

When asked if she’d be returning for Scream 7, Brown said, “I haven’t gotten a call. I think if you want to ask Spyglass [Media Group] what they’re doing, you can. I haven’t gotten a call.”

What’s going on with Scream 7?

Spyglass Media Group fired Melissa Barrera from Scream 7 on November 22, 2023, for speaking publicly about the Israel-Hamas war (where she supported Palestine and pushed for peace).

A few days later, Jenna Ortega revealed she was also not returning for Scream 7. Ortega cited a busy schedule as her reason for leaving, as she’s busy filming the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday and the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel.

On December 23, 2023, director Christopher Landon also left the film. Landon wrote on Twitter, “It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on. I have nothing more to add to the conversation other than I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world. What he and Kevin created is something amazing, and I was honored to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow.”

The franchise also notably had past controversies when Neve Campbell didn’t return for Scream VI because of a pay dispute. Campbell recently told The Hollywood Reporter that she wasn’t ruling out a potential Scream return should she be presented with a “respectful offer.”

At this time, no director is attached to Scream 7 and it’s unclear what the current status of the movie is. Variety reported in November 2023 that the movie is facing a “full creative reboot
