Jasmin Savoy Brown, aka Mindy Meeks-Martin (your favorite film nerd turned Ghostface survivor), is officially coming back for *Scream 7* — but she’s gotta do it without her ride-or-die co-stars Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera.
If you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the quick recap: Melissa was booted from the franchise after posting about the Israel-Hamas war, which the studio didn’t vibe with. Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega dipped out because of “scheduling conflicts” (translation: she’s booked, busy, and Hollywood’s new It Girl). So yeah, the Core Four is down to two, and Jasmin is straight-up heartbroken about it.
In a brand-new interview for Ashley Collins’ book *Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror*, Jasmin got super real about the chaos. “It’s been really sad and stressful,” she admitted. She even dragged the whole “actors should know everything about politics” idea, saying it’s kind of wild to expect movie stars to have the same knowledge as politicians. But she also pointed out that standing up for people who don’t have a voice isn’t politics — it’s literally human decency. Mic drop.
As for whether we’ll ever see Melissa and Jenna back slicing their way through another *Scream* flick? Jasmin isn’t losing hope. “I can’t imagine making this movie without Melissa and Jenna. It won’t be the same,” she said. But she’s still clinging to the dream of a reunion. “Even if it’s 20 years from now, I hope the Core Four gets back together on screen.”
So yeah, *Scream 7* is coming in 2026, but don’t expect it to hit the same without Ghostface’s favorite girl gang all in one place. Still, Jasmin’s sticking around, and honestly? Mindy deserves her final girl moment.
