‘Scream’ Series to Debut First Trailer During MTV Movie Awards

The first look at MTV’s Scream series is finally here! The network announced that Bella Thorne (The DUFF) will be on hand to debut a new trailer during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, April 12.

The TV adaptation will tell the story of a town stricken with violence following a cyber-bullying incident that results in a brutal murder.

Thorne will star as one of town’s terrorized teens, possibly as the victim of the show’s initial murder. “I will re-enact the famous scene of Drew Barrymore in the original series,” the actress said during a January Facebook Q&A.

The rest of the cast -- comprised of several newcomers -- includes popular girl Emma (Willa Fitzgerald), artsy loner Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus, Arrow), computer geek Noah (John Karna), all-American athlete Will (Connor Weil, Sharknado), ferocious socialite Brooke (Carlson Young), and mysterious new kid Kieran (Amadeus Serafini). The show’s adult stars feature The 4400’s Joel Gretsch as Sheriff Clark Hudson and Tracy Middendorf (Mission Impossible: III).
