'Scream' Reboot Gets Premiere Date, First Trailer
Get ready to "Scream" in a few weeks.
The long-in-the-works television reboot of "Scream" is finally going to terrorize fans this July in a three-night event.
The project is moving from its original home on MTV to VH1 and will premiere July 8. The six-episode season, titled "Scream: Resurrection, will run two hours a night, starting at 9 p.m., through Wednesday, July 10.
The third season of "Scream" was announced in October 2016. The reboot would feature a brand-new cast, premise and location — as well as the actual Ghostface mask for the first time on television.
Roger Jackson, who voiced the killer in the "Scream" film franchise, will reprise the role for the VH1 version.
Season 3 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.
Also staring are Mary J. Blige, Keke Palmer, Tyler Posey, Tyga, Giorgia Whigham, Jessica Sula, C.J. Wallace and Giullian Yao Gioiello. The first-look teaser trailer also reveals that Paris Jackson will make a cameo.
