Skeet Ulrich, who starred in 1996’s “Scream” as Billy Loomis and later reprised the role in both 2022’s “Scream” and 2023’s “Scream VI,” has opened up about not being able to complete what he calls his “three-film arc” after his co-star, Melissa Barrera, was fired from the franchise.

Speaking with US Weekly, Ulrich explained that he doesn’t see himself returning to the franchise because “without Melissa Barrera and Sam Loomis, there’s no Billy Loomis.” (Barrera played Sam Carpenter, who was revealed to be Loomis’ daughter.) “He was in her head. They had their chance at it and didn’t quite get to complete the three-film arc that they talked to me about.”
