Ortega portrayed Tara, the half-sister of sam Barrera, the major player in Ghostface's reappearance in Scream and Scream VI. (In both films, Sam's father is revealed to be Billy Loomis, one of the first Ghostfaces, and she is physically and symbolically haunted by him and his crimes.) Ghostface will have to find new people to frighten in Scream VII since the film's ensemble has reportedly lost both of its primary roles.
One day after it was announced that series actor Melissa Barrera had been sacked from the seventh Scream film owing to social media comments she made about the Israel-Hamas conflict, Deadline claimed that Jenna Ortega had also quit the production. According to their sources, the two are not linked because Ortega has committed to shooting the second season of Netflix's wednesday, and the production of both wednesday and Scream VII will overlap.
