A few days back,
it was confirmed that we would be seeing the official trailer and release date for the upcoming
Scream TV series at the
2015 MTV Movie Awards. Seeing as today is the day of the
Awards, we now have our first trailer and it is public knowledge that the show will begin airing on
30 June, despite earlier reports claiming that the show would be released in October.
As for the trailer, the show seems a little...different...from what was previously seen in the films. There are definitely differences in the tone and setting of the show, not to mention a modern edge. In the trailer, there is a brief flash of what appears to be the show's redesigned incarnation of the Ghostface killer. Ghostface's new look seems to match
previous descriptions of the show's version of the character given by MTV's
senior vice president Mina Lefevre that Ghostface will have a "darker, almost more grounded, evolved version of the mask" that is "
more organic looking and a frankly darker version [than the original].” It seems we will have to wait a little longer to get a clearer look at the character.

“Scream” the series will follow the aftermath of a cyber-bullying incident that results in a shocking murder. The brutal event brings back memories from of past killing spree that has haunted some, possibly inspires a new killer and brings together a new group of teens.
“Scream” also stars Willa Fitzgerald (“Alpha House,” “Royal Pains”), Amy Forsyth (“Torment,” “Reign”), John Karna (“Premature,” “The Neighbors”), Carlson Young (“Key and Peele,” “The Kroll Show”) and Amadeus Serafini. Jamie Travis (MTV’s “Faking It”) directed the pilot, and Jill Blotevogel (“Harper’s Island,” “Ravenswood”) will exec produce. Wes Craven, who directed the original flicks, will also serve as an exec producer.
