Cast Updates for ‘Scream the TV Series’ Season 3
Scream the TV Series begins filming its third season in Atlanta starting Monday.
Fans of the MTV original will find that there are some new victims — ahem — characters this season and we have their descriptions below taken from a release issued by MTV:
Keke Palmer will portray Kym, a rebel with a thousand causes, who is a bold and beautiful social activist with a big heart and zero patience for suffering fools. When Kym and her friends find themselves hunted by a killer, she works to flip the script and survive at any cost.
Keke Palmer most recently stared in Fox’s hit show Scream Queens as Zayday Williams. She began her career with a breakout role in the film “Akeelah and The Bee” and then starred as the title character in the hit cable series “True Jackson, VP,” for which she received four NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Performance in a Youth/Children’s Program. You can also catch her in the upcoming season of ‘Berlin Station’ this fall on EPIX. In early 2016, Palmer starred in FOX’s Emmy winning, GREASE: LIVE as “Marty.” She also recently made Broadway history as the first African-American and youngest actress to star in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s iconic 1957 musical, “Cinderella.”
RJ Cyler will portray Deion. A star running back for the high school football team, Deion hopes to secure a college football scholarship that will take him far away from Atlanta, a plan that seems destined to fail when he becomes the target of a masked killer with ties to his past. Someone knows Deion’s darkest secret…and they’ll use it to destroy him.
RJ Cyler made his motion-picture starring debut playing high-school filmmaker Earl in the bittersweet teen dramedy, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” opposite Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke, Nick Offerman and Connie Britton. Following his triumph in “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,” Cyler completed a co-starring role in the big screen Middle East war satire, “War Machine,” which stars Brad Pitt, Will Poulter, Emory Cohen and Topher Grace. He is part of the cast of the second season of HBO’s dark comedy series “Vice Principals,” and also co-stars in the Showtime comedy, “I’m Dying Up Here,” executive produced by Jim Carrey. He is currently seen on the big screen in Liongate’s Saban’s “Power Rangers,” playing the Blue Ranger. He just wrapped two feature films “Sierra Burgess Is A Loser,” a modern retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story, and the drug dealer drama “White Boy Rick” opposite Matthew McConaughey.
Jessica Sula will portray Liv, the new girl at school. As a member of the cheer squad and an honor roll student, she seems to have a good head on her shoulders and an ideal life. But as she and Deion grow closer, amidst the murder and mayhem, it soon becomes clear that she has just as many secrets as everyone else.
Welsh-born Jessica Sula is most recently starred in M. Knight Shyamalan’s film “Split” opposite James McAvoy, as well as the independent film “The Lovers” for A24 opposite Debra Winger and Tracy Letts. In the fall, she will be seen in “Goddess,” a six-part Netflix miniseries for Sott Frank. Jessica recently starred as the lead role of ‘Maddie’ in Freeform’s drama series, “Recovery Road.
Giorgia Whigham will portray Beth. Caustic and darkly funny, Beth is the resident Goth girl and a local tattoo artist. As an unapologetic fan of horror films, Beth is outspoken about her encyclopedic knowledge of movie murder… which is sure to come in handy with a killer on the loose.
Giorgia Whigham broke out with her recurring role as Kat on the controversial Netflix teen drama series “13 Reasons Why.” Additional TV credits include “Shameless” (Showtime / John Wells), “Son of Zorn” (Fox / Lord & Miller), “Legend of Master Legend” (Amazon / James Ponsoldt) and “Orville” (Fox / Seth MacFarlane). She will next be seen recurring on the Hulu drama “Chance” with Hugh Laurie and in upcoming films “Saving Zoe” “The Buried Girl” and “Sierra Burgess is a Loser.”
Giullian Yao Gioiello portrays Manny who is openly gay and loyal to a fault. Usually the smartest person in the room, he’s destined to achieve great things. But his wits are put to the test when he suddenly finds himself in the crosshairs of a killer… which makes his simple goal of surviving high school and moving on with his life seem impossible.
Giullian Yao Gioiello is an actor and singer-songwriter who starred in the new Netflix Original Series, “Julie’s Greenroom,” produced by The Jim Henson Company, opposite Julie Andrews. He is also a featured soloist on the cast album. Gioiello played a recurring role on “The Carrie Diaries” for the CW network and a supporting role in the Toronto International Film Festival darling, “Catfight,” opposite Sandra Oh. Other credits include: “Miles, Jack of Red Hearts,” “Bull” for CBS and Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender Series 1.”
Previously announced cast:
Tyga: Tyga (aka Michael Ray Stevenson) will take on the role of Jamal, Deion’s step-brother. Despite hanging out with a rough crowd, he’s got a big heart and an undying loyalty to Deion. Scream is Tyga’s first series-regular role.
CJ Wallace: Wallace, the son of the late Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, will play Amir. Amir is a good kid. His parents don’t really give him any other option, given his strict Muslim upbringing. Amir is a socially-awkward savant and dreams of making music one day.Queen Latifah, Shakim

Yay or Nay: What’s Good and Bad in Horror This Week
Welcome to Yay or Nay a weekly mini post about what I think is good and bad news in the horror community written in bite-sized chunks.
Yay:
Mike Flanagan talking about directing the next chapter in the Exorcist trilogy. That might mean he saw the last one and realized there were two left and if he does anything well it’s draw out a story.
Yay:
To the announcement of a new IP-based film Mickey Vs Winnie. It’s fun to read comical hot takes from people who haven’t even seen the movie yet.
Nay:
The new Faces of Death reboot gets an R rating. It’s not really fair — Gen-Z should get an unrated version like past generations so they can question their mortality the same as the rest of us did.
Yay:
Russell Crowe is doing another possession movie. He’s quickly becoming another Nic Cage by saying yes to every script, bringing the magic back to B-movies, and more money into VOD.
Nay:
Putting The Crow back in theaters for its 30th anniversary. Re-releasing classic movies at the cinema to celebrate a milestone is perfectly fine, but doing so when the lead actor in that film was killed on set due to neglect is a cash grab of the worst kind.

The Top-Searched Free Horror/Action Movies on Tubi This Week
The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale. Other than Tubi, where else are you going to find Nightwish (1990), Spookies (1986), or The Power (1984)?
We take a look at the most searched horror titles on the platform this week, hopefully, to save you some time in your endeavor to find something free to watch on Tubi.
Interestingly at the top of the list is one of the most polarizing sequels ever made, the female-led Ghostbusters reboot from 2016. Perhaps viewers have seen the latest sequel Frozen Empire and are curious about this franchise anomaly. They will be happy to know it’s not as bad as some think and is genuinely funny in spots.

Morticia & Wednesday Addams Join Monster High Skullector Series
Believe it or not, Mattel’s Monster High doll brand has an immense following with both young and not-so-young collectors.
In that same vein, the fan base for The Addams Family is also very large. Now, the two are collaborating to create a line of collectible dolls that celebrate both worlds and what they have created is a combination of fashion dolls and goth fantasy. Forget Barbie, these ladies know who they are.
The dolls are based on Morticia and Wednesday Addams from the 2019 Addams Family animated movie.
As with any niche collectibles these aren’t cheap they bring with them a $90 price tag, but it’s an investment as a lot of these toys become more valuable over time.
“There goes the neighborhood. Meet the Addams Family’s ghoulishly glamorous mother-daughter duo with a Monster High twist. Inspired by the animated movie and clad in spiderweb lace and skull prints, the Morticia and Wednesday Addams Skullector doll two-pack makes for a gift that’s so macabre, it’s downright pathological.”
