MTV has announced that they will be rebooting their scripted drama “Scream,” for its third season, and two familiar names were recently revealed as leading characters for the upcoming season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, rapper Tyga and C.J. Wallace have been tapped for starring roles in the series, which will return in March. The upcoming season will consist of six-episodes that will air as a three-night event.
The upcoming season features an entirely new location and cast. According to the show’s synopsis, this season will “revolve around Deion Elliot, a local star running back whose tragic past comes back to haunt him at the worst time, threatening his hard-earned plans for his future — and the lives of his unlikely group of friends.”
Tyga will play the role of Jamal, who is the stepbrother to Deion, and “despite hanging out with a rough crowd, he’s got a big heart and an undying loyalty to Deion.”
C.J. Wallace, who is the son of Faith Evans and the late Notorious B.I.G., will play the role of Amir. His character is described as “a good kid whose strict parents expect him to keep clean during high school, stay away from girls and ultimately find his place within the family business.”
Queen Latifah will be joining this season as an executive producer via her Flavor Unit Company.
Roommates, will you be tuned in?
