‘Scream’ star Jasmin Savoy Brown hasn’t ‘gotten a call’ about ‘sequel’ after Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera’s exits

Jasmin Savoy Brown’s “Scream” future is uncertain.

Brown, 29, who portrayed Mindy Meeks-Martin in 2022’s “Scream” and last year’s “Scream VI,” was asked by Entertainment Tonight if she’ll return to the iconic film franchise.

“I haven’t gotten a call,” the 29-year-old said Monday after the 2024 Emmys when asked if she’d return for the next installment. “If you want to ask Spyglass what they’re doing, you can,” she added about the film production company.

The Post has contacted Spyglass Media Group for comment.

Brown’s revelation comes after the news that neither Melissa Barrera nor Jenna Ortega will return in the upcoming “Scream VII,” which is expected to be released in late 2024 or early 2025.

Barrera, 33, was axed from the upcoming slasher film in November due to her controversial comments on social media about the Israel-Hamas war.

“First and foremost I condemn Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. I condemn hate and prejudice of any kind against any group of people,” Barrera wrote in an Instagram story upon getting fired.

“As a Latina, a proud Mexicana, I feel the responsibility of having a platform that allows me the privilege of being heard,” she said. “Therefore I have tried to use it to raise awareness about issues I care about and to lend my voice to those in need.”

Ortega will not be returning to the franchise due to scheduling conflicts with Season 2 of her Netflix show, “Wednesday.”

Nonetheless, Barrera had a meet-up with fellow “Scream” stars Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liana Liberato, Tony Revolori, Skeet Ulrich and Jack Quaid earlier this week and posted a picture of the reunion on Instagram.

“Yeah 😍,” Barrera captioned the post.

“Sweet reunion!!” Ulrich, 53, commented.

Quaid, 31, chimed in: “HELL yeah!”

“I just love ya,” Gooding, 27, added, while Liberato, 28, penned: “Oooooh yeah.”

“Scream VII” has had yet another casualty — director Christopher Landon revealed in December that he had left the embattled slasher flick.

“I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago,” Landon, 48, wrote on X, the platform previously known as Twitter. “This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare.

“And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on,” he added.
