According to the Radio Silence helmers, they felt bad they wouldn’t continue the franchise. However, they believe Scream VI was a fitting end to Sam’s story arc. “We got exited,” Gillett said, before Bettinell-Olpin added, “We’ll be sad that there’s not going to be an end to the Sam Carpenter story, but in our minds, we designed Scream VI so that the story feels complete.”With Barrera and Ortega out, as well as the directorial changes, Scream 7 was in limbo amid major rewrites and a scramble to put a cast together.
