Scream Season 3: Meet the New Killer's Diverse Pack of Potential Victims 

Gather ’round, lovers of horror, because it’s time to get acquainted with the fresh crop of characters populating MTV’s

reboot — you know, while they’re all still alive.

Scream Halloween Special: Who Died? Who Returned? What’s Next?

‘ Brett Matthews) and a new pack of executive producers (including Queen Latifah!), TVLine has exclusively learned of five new characters being cast in Season 3:

* First up is Dion, a Michael B. Jordan-esque football player on track to score a college scholarship — that is, until a masked killer uses Dion’s darkest secrets against him, turning his life upside down and making him question his own sanity.

* Liv is Dion’s cheerleader girlfriend, as beautiful as she is brilliant. She’s also down to lend a helping hand where needed, though her good intentions often land her in hot water.

* Kym is the rebellious one of the group, always willing to say what everyone else is thinking. She’s organized and protective, two qualities that will serve her well when a killer starts targeting her friends.

* Beth is a little different from her fellow seniors, sporting a goth look and a morbid collection of interests. A “walking encyclopedia of all things horror,” she’s compared to

* And then there’s Dion’s step-brother Jamal. Despite hanging out with a rough crowd, he’s got a big heart and an undying loyalty to Dion.

It should be noted that MTV is stressing diverse casting for

‘s third season; Dion and Jamal are both black, while actresses of diverse backgrounds will be considered for the roles of Liv and Kym.

I’m so excited for this. This is one of my favorite horror franchises. It’s only supposed to be six episodes but I wonder if they’ll order more if it’s good and gets the right buzz!

If you’re a fan of horror franchises and your excited by this, why does your post give the impression that you have absolutely no idea there was a Scream tv series prior to this announcement? And don’t get your hopes up, they already screwed up the already established storyline from the first two seasons by abandoning them, don’t think you’ll get anything after these 6 episodes. Twitter and other social media have Season 1 & 2 fans boycotting this abortion of a third season. This will bomb hard.

Yeah I saw seasons 1 & 2. They were what they were. I find that I have the same hopefulness I had with Scream 4. Nothing will live up to being in 7th grade and home alone watching the original Scream.

Pass. MTV and the producers are royally screwing over the fans of the first and second seasons by completely ignoring the original cast, the ongoing storylines and the many cliffhangers still unresolved. Instead of destroying the established story, they could have either added more diverse characters to the admittedly mostly white cast (although to be fair, the cast did contain African American and Mexican American actors), or better yet expand the scream universe and do a spinoff with new characters and storylines instead of destroying what you already had.

So One Tree Hill with diversity and a murder mystery ?

I could get behind this if it was called I Know What You Did Last Summer or anything else besides Scream. Like, the special after the first two seasons ended on a cliffhanger. Finish that story, that’s the group I’m invested in.

Hahaha, MTV thinks I’m gonna come BACK after they b!tchslapped me?!? I don’t think so.

I will be watching, I won’t miss the old cast, that story should have wrapped up in season one, since they aren’t taking straight from the original movie, it should have been an anthology series like American Horror Story that way anything could happen and the stakes would be high because the new season is a new beginning. I have to note that this new direction is a direct reflection of “Get out” Reading some of these descriptions I couldn’t help but think of the movie Get out.

I’m glad I don’t have to deal with Emma any more, but I’m a little apprehensive about a seemingly (?) male main character.

Yawn, I feel like this just like the first 2 seasons won’t capture the attitude and commentary of horror of the films. That’s what frustrated me about the first 2 seasons. Yes it was good in what it was but it was more akin to a pretty little liars than trying to capture what was so great about the scream movies.
