The video this brief is aboutSkeet Ulrich, who reprised the role of Billy Loomis in Scream 5 and Scream 6, will not appear in Scream 7. Interviewed by U.S. Weekly magazine, he stated unequivocally: "Without Melissa Barrera and Sam Loomis, there is no Billy Loomis. I was in his head." The character Sam, played by Melissa Barrera, was removed from the seventh installment after the actress was fired by Spyglass Studios for her support of the Palestinian people. The saga, now dubbed "Legacyquel", recycles the characters and plots of the original films, but Billy Loomis's arc can no longer continue. According to Écran Large, these decisions explain his permanent absence.
