In the works for three and a half years, the retooled third season of “Scream” is finally going to air — on VH1 instead of its original home on MTV, THR breaks the news.
The six-episode season of “Scream: Resurrection” will debut Monday, July 8 and run for two hours per night starting at 9 p.m. and run through Wednesday, July 10. That’s six hours of Ghostface goodness in one week!
There’s even bigger news that accompanies the teaser: new in season three is the actual Ghostface mask, which MTV’s “Scream” had previously been unable to use. Roger Jackson, who voiced the killer in the Scream feature film franchise, will reprise that role for the VH1 take! This marks the first time the original Ghostface mask will be used on television!
Season three centers on Deion Elliot (RJ Cyler), a local star football running back, whose tragic past comes back to haunt him and threaten his hard-earned plans for the future … and the lives of his unlikely group of friends.
The cast also includes Mary J. Blige, Keke Palmer, Tyler Posey, Tyga, Giorgia Whigham, Jessica Sula, C.J. Wallace and Giullian Yao Gioiello, with an appearance by Paris Jackson.
