The entire Scream VI team has to answer the Neve Campbell question this press cycle
Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Courteney Cox weigh in on Neve Campbell's absence from Scream VI as the movie debuts

Can Scream exist without Sidney Prescott? Based on the warm early reception for Scream VI, it seems the answer is yes. Still, Neve Campbell’s shadow looms large over the beloved horror franchise, so everyone whose name is still attached to the series has been asked to comment on her absence. Some veterans weighed in back when Campbell announced she was bowing out; now that the new installment has premiered, there’s been another round of questions.
“It was really unfortunate,” new series star Jenna Ortega told Elle. “Especially because Neve is the coolest, sweetest most talented lady. The franchise wouldn’t be what it is without her.” However, her character left an impact on the sixth film: “It’s very clear, like, there’s references to Sidney, of course,” Ortega previously told Entertainment Tonight.
