This is the best summary I could come up with:

Jenna Ortega will no longer star in Scream VII, the latest in a dramatic turn of events for the next installment in the storied horror franchise.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter she informed Scream studio Spyglass months ago she did not intend to return.

The news comes one day after Spyglass fired Ortega’s co-star Melissa Barrera after she posted of dozens of messages following the Israel-Hamas war.

Barrera and Ortega have played sisters in the film since 2022’s Scream.

In the short time since that film was released, Ortega became a sizable star thanks to her work on Netflix’s hit Wednesday, and was seen as a lynchpin to the Scream franchise.

Christopher Landon is directing the next installment, which will will recalibrate following these departures.
