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

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
