Neve Campbell is returning to the Scream franchise for Scream 7, but fans are still out on the movie series following Melissa Barrera’s firing.
This is the first big announcement about the next installment in the line of movies since it was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes and the exit of two high-profile stars from Scream 5 and 6, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega.
Scream fans split over Neve Campbell news
Multiple fans expressed their nervousness over the news about Campbell’s return. She is well known for her role as Sidney Prescott in the Scream movies, but it seems like her reintroduction might not be enough to get fans back into theaters for the next film.
“Scream is nothing without Melissa Barrera,” one fan said onsocial media.
“I will say that I’ve always loved Neve Campbell and she is and always has been the face of Scream, however, I’m not excited. They f***** up with what they did to Melissa Barrera and unfortunately, it all just leaves a bad taste in my mouth,” another fansaid.

The next installment in the horror franchise was already looking to retool after two of its stars and director Christopher Landon exited. Notably, the franchise’s original scribe, Kevin Williamson, has been tapped to direct the upcoming installment.
Whether fans will make their way into theaters to see the new installment has yet to be seen.
