The initial trailer for Scream 7 is out, but the response has been mixed. Many longtime fans were reminded of the controversy surrounding Melissa Barrera’s exit from the series when they watched it.
Melissa Barrera was removed from the upcoming film Scream 7 on November 23, 2023, due to posts she made on social media regarding the conflict between Israel and Gaza. The negative reaction to her views led Spyglass Media Group to end her involvement with the Scream franchise. This decision upset many fans, who supported her right to express her opinions. With the first trailer now released, fans are bracing for another wave of criticism and debate.
Spyglass stated that Gina Carano was fired due to comments they found hateful and inappropriate. A representative explained the studio has a strict policy against antisemitism and any language that promotes hate, including references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, or distortion of the Holocaust, and anything considered blatant hate speech.
After Barrera’s departure was announced, social media users shared their reactions. Some criticized the decision, while others highlighted her work in other films. One user on X even called for a boycott of Scream 7, suggesting people support Scary Movie 6 instead.
On X, users have been promoting Melissa Barrera’s recent work. One person shared that her horror comedy film, Your Monster (2024), is now available to stream on both HBO Max and Hulu. Another user highlighted her upcoming science fiction series, The Copenhagen Test, starring Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera, which is scheduled to premiere on December 27th, 2025.
The latest Scream movie brings back familiar stars like Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Neve Campbell, and Matthew Lillard, alongside returning cast members Scott Foley, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding. Joining them are new additions to the cast including Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Anna Camp, Isabel May, Celeste O’Connor, and several other fresh faces.
Scream 7 is set to debut in theaters on February 27, 2026.
