Supposedly the third season of SCREAM: THE TV SERIES was meant to hit MTV this March… but now March has come and gone and not nearly a whimper has been uttered over on the (one time) music channel. What gives?
While we're still not sure what lies in the future for MTV SCREAM S3, today we have a semi-update via TEEN WOLF and third season star Tyler Posey. Posey recently sat down with Daily Dead to talk about his role in Blumhouse's TRUTH OR DARE and spoke a bit about SCREAM while he was there.
Tyler Posey:
When I watched the first season of Scream, I fell in love the cast. I saw them start their careers on Scream and promote the show and go to Comic-Con, and do all that stuff. Teen Wolf was considered a veteran show at that point, so it was like we were passing the torch in a way. Then when they rebooted the entire thing for season three, and I got a call from one of my friends who was the director of photography on Teen Wolf, and he was also hired to come and do Scream. He called me, and he was like, 'Hey, man. There's this role that we would love to have you play. Would you want to come down and play with us?'
He continues:
I didn't have to read the role or really know anything about the script to immediately be on board because one, I was excited to work with my friend again. Two, it was in Atlanta and that's where we filmed Teen Wolf for the first two seasons, so I was excited to go back there. Three, I'm a huge fan of the Scream movies, and Ghostface is such an iconic character, so I thought it would cool to be in the same show as that universe. That's one of the things about acting that I just love, where you can get these weird and cool experiences that you can put under your belt. For me, being on screen with a classic character like Ghostface is just really cool. I had a really good time. It was a super humbling experience. It was great. I really had a great shoot, and I loved being in Atlanta. I had the greatest time.
Are you excited you are for Ghostface's return in SCREAM: THE TV SERIES Season 3? Make sure to hit us up and let us know in the comments or on social media!
