Jenna Ortega Confirms the Real Reason She Left the SCREAM Franchise

Jenna Ortega will not be returning to reprise her role as Tara Carpenter in Scream 7. According to reports cited in the article (primarily from Deadline), her departure is due to a scheduling conflict with the filming of Season 2 of Netflix's hit series . The production schedule for Wednesday in Ireland reportedly clashes with the planned filming for Scream 7.

The article stresses that sources indicate Ortega's exit is unrelated to the recent controversial firing of her co-star Melissa Barrera (who played her sister, Sam Carpenter) by Spyglass Media. Discussions about Ortega's scheduling issues and potential departure from Scream 7 apparently occurred before the actors' strike, and she did not have a finalized deal in place for the sequel.

The loss of both Ortega and Barrera, the central figures of the franchise's recent reboot films (Scream 2022 and Scream VI), leaves the future of Scream 7 uncertain and requires a significant creative rethink for the sequel.
