Skeet Ulrich recently explained that he’s “not involved” with Scream 7 after Melissa Barrera was fired, noting that his character Billy Loomis was connected to her character Sam Carpenter’s storyline.
“I’m not involved. I’m really excited though,” he told the New York Post. “I’m excited for Kevin Williamson to take the helm and to see what the mastermind of it all comes up with. I have no clue.”
He then went on to reveal Sam’s fate in the original Scream 7 before being fired. [Spoiler (click to open)]She was seemingly going to be Ghostface in 7. “I used to know because part of coming back for five and six was being a part of seven. It was a three-picture arc for Billy Loomis, or the imagination of Billy Loomis in Melissa Barrera‘s character’s head. But when all that went down with her, obviously you lose her and you lose what’s in her head.”
He went further into detail when talking to Entertainment Weekly: “When we talked about coming back for 5, it was a three-picture arc for Billy Loomis to slowly turn his daughter into the killer. Obviously, those things didn’t pan out, given certain things that happened. But, no, I know nothing about the seventh.”
