Jenna Ortega will reportedly not be returning to the seventh installment of the Scream franchise due to her Wednesday filming schedule.
Deadline has reported that Ortega’s departure from the Scream film was already in talks prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
The outlet reports that the script for the sequel has yet to be complete and Ortega, 21, will be travelling to Ireland in April to film season two of the Netflix series Wednesday. That shoot is expected to extend into the summer.
Jenna and Melissa played sisters Tara and Sam Carpenter in the horror franchise in 2022’s Scream and 2023’s Scream VI.
