Unveiling the untold reasons behind Jenna Ortega’s surprising exit from ‘Scream VII.’ Explore the exclusive insights and controversies surrounding her departure from the iconic horror franchise.
Due to the unprecedented success of Scream VI, Jenna Ortega, a pivotal factor in its record-breaking $44.4M domestic and $67M global opening, is not anticipated to reprise her role in Scream VII, sources reveal.
Contrary to speculation, Ortega’s departure isn’t linked to Melissa Barrera’s recent dismissal or the actress’ request to terminate her Scream contract. Ortega and Barrera portrayed sisters in different Scream installments as Tara and Sam Carpenter.
Reports indicate that Ortega’s exit from the next Scream was deliberated prior to the actors’ strike. With no finalized script for Scream VII, the Primetime Emmy nominee’s commitments to Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ in Ireland and additional filming for ‘Beetlejuice’ after the SAG-AFTRA strike conflict with the production schedule.
While details about Scream 7’s timetable remain undisclosed, Ortega’s horizon seems boundless post the triumph of ‘Wednesday,’ signaling a plethora of potential future roles.
Jenna Ortega‘s acclaimed portrayal of the titular character in ‘Wednesday’ earned her nominations for a Comedy Series Actress Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe Comedy TV Actress.
The Scream franchise, eyeing a seventh installment, inches closer to the $1 billion global box office milestone, presently standing at $911M across six films.
Following Barrera’s removal from Scream VII, Spyglass emphatically stated their intolerance toward antisemitism or any form of hate speech, firmly denouncing false references to genocide or Holocaust distortion.
