We learned back in mid-March that MTV is rebooting its “Scream” series with a fresh storyline and new characters; and today, thanks to TVLine, we have a few more details to share.
Per the site, which previously announced that Brett Matthews (“The Vampire Diaries,” “Supernatural”) will serve as the series’ new showrunner with Queen Latifah, Shakim Conpere, and Yaneley Arty also joining as executive producers for Flavor Unit Entertainment, we can look forward to meeting:
MTV is stressing diverse casting for “Scream’s” third season: Dion and Jamal are both black, while actresses of diverse backgrounds will be considered for the roles of Liv and Kym.
In addition to the new behind-the-scenes team mentioned above, Dimension TV’s Harvey and Bob Weinstein remain executive producers along with Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena, and Cathy Konrad.
Stay tuned for more as it comes on the upcoming six-episode “Scream” Season 3.
