Although Scream 6 star Melissa Barrera won’t appear as Sam Carpenter in the new sequel, that may allow Scream 7 to avoid a common Final Girl trope. The 2022 Scream reboot was a hit, mostly because of the new cast, including Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding, known as The Core Four. Although the 2022 Scream featured the original cast members, the studio needed viewers to care about the younger stars. Judging from Scream 6, they succeeded. Courteney Cox is the only original cast member in Scream 6, which grossed nearly $169 million worldwide.
