In recent developments within the entertainment industry, actors Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera have exited the 'Scream' franchise. Ortega's departure from the franchise was reportedly due to a conflicting filming schedule. This news comes shortly after her co-star, Melissa Barrera, was dismissed from the upcoming 'Scream VII' film by Spyglass Media Group. Barrera's dismissal was due to her social media posts concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict, which were perceived as anti-Semitic by the production company.
Barrera, known for her roles in Starz's series Vida, Warner Bros. feature musical In the Heights, and the Scream franchise, has been an active voice on social media, expressing support for Palestine and criticizing the treatment of Gaza. Following her dismissal, Barrera broke her silence via her Instagram story, condemning Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, and expressing her commitment to continue advocating for peace and human rights.
The timing of Ortega's exit has led to internet speculation that it may be an act of solidarity with Barrera, although this has not been confirmed. Ortega's representatives had informed Spyglass before the actors' strike that she would not be returning for another 'Scream' movie.
The 'Scream' franchise has been financially successful, grossing nearly $911M worldwide through six movies, with the last two produced and financed by Spyglass Media. Barrera's previous films in the 'Scream' series have also been financially successful, with 'Scream VI' grossing $168.9 million worldwide.
