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.”

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

1994’s ‘The Crow’ Coming Back to Theaters for A New Special Engagement
Cinemark recently announced that they will be bringing The Crow back from the dead once again. This announcement comes just in time for the film’s 30th anniversary. Cinemark will be playing The Crow in select theaters on May 29th and 30th.
For those unaware, The Crow is a fantastic film based on the gritty graphic novel by James O’Barr. Widely considered one of the best films of the 90s, The Crow’s lifespan was cut short when Brandon Lee died of an accidental on set shooting.
The official synapsis of the film is as follows. “The modern-gothic original that entranced audiences and critics alike, The Crow tells the tale of a young musician brutally murdered alongside his beloved fiancée, only to be risen from the grave by a mysterious crow. Seeking revenge, he battles a criminal underground that must answer for its crimes. Adapted from the comic book saga of the same name, this action-packed thriller from director Alex Proyas (Dark City) features hypnotic style, dazzling visuals, and a soulful performance by the late Brandon Lee.”
The timing of this release couldn’t be better. As a new generation of fans eagerly awaits the release of The Crow remake, they can now see the classic film in all of its glory. As much as we love Bill Skarsgard (IT), there is something timeless in Brandon Lee’s performance in the film.
This theatrical release is part of the Scream Greats series. This is a collaboration between Paramount Scares and Fangoria to bring audiences some of the best classic horror films. So far, they are doing a fantastic job.
That’s all the information we have at this time. Make sure to check back here for more news and updates.

Hugh Jackman & Jodie Comer Team Up for a New Dark Robin Hood Adaptation
A report from Deadline details director Michal Sarnoski’s (A Quiet Place: Day One) newest project, The Death of Robin Hood. The film is set to feature Hugh Jackman (Logan) and Jodie Comer (The End We Start From).
Michael Sarnoski will write and direct the new Robin Hood adaptation. Jackman will be reunited with Aaron Ryder (The Prestige), who is producing the film. The Death of Robin Hood is expected to be a hot item at the upcoming Cannes film market.
Deadline describes the films as the following. “The film is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set of its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battleworn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman, who offers him a chance at salvation.”
Lyrical Media will be financing the film. Alexander Black will produce the film alongside Ryder and Andrew Sweet. Black gave Deadline the following information about the project. “We are thrilled to be part of this very special project and to be working with a visionary director in Michael, a phenomenal cast in Hugh and Jodie, and producing with our frequent collaborators, Ryder and Swett at RPC.”
“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” Ryder and Swett stated to Deadline “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral. Thanks to Alexander Black and our friends at Lyrical along with Rama and Michael, the world is going to love seeing Hugh and Jodie together in this epic.”
Sarnoski seems to be excited by the project as well. He offered Deadline the following information about the film.
“It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood. Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”
We are still a long way away from seeing this Robin Hood tale. Production is expected to begin in February of 2025. However, it does sound like it will be a fun entry into the Robin Hood canon.
That’s all the information we have at this time.
