Historically, the Scream series didn’t shy away from eliminating significant characters or key members of the main cast. For instance, Drew Barrymore’s character was killed off in the initial minutes of Scream, and numerous main cast members met their demise across the first three films. Notably, Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott was often the lone survivor. However, the recent sequels seem to have changed this trend, with most characters managing to make it through. Actress Allison Brie expressed her frustration with this development, stating that “too many people are still alive” in the newer installments. According to her, by Scream 7, only two of the original main cast, often referred to as the ‘core four,’ should remain, as Randy Meeks (portrayed by Jamie Kennedy) was killed off in Scream 2.
