MTV announced today that the famous Fun World mask will make its small screen debut in “Scream” Season 3, which will feature new characters and a whole new story.

Production is currently underway in Atlanta.

“Season three revolves 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.”

Really happy about this. I did like the mask they used in S1 and 2 but this is Scream, and this is what Ghostface should look like. Really liking some of the casting choices too. RJ Cyler was great in Power Rangers, and I love Keke Palmer.

 

[strafer]

OH SHIT

 

[jwk94]

Definitely in for RJ. My man stole Power Rangers.

 

[Valtýr]

Wasn't this due to a copyright? I assume they got that settled.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

What's the second season worth a watch? It kinda felt done at the end of season one but half the cast remained, but my brain felt done with it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

just in time for halloween marketing synergy

 

[TheGreenArrow]

The series isn't great... but its fun. I'm def in for season 3. And RJ Cyler is great.

S2 was better than 1. But it has some pacing issues around the middle.

Keke Palmer was one of the best parts of Scream Queens, might have to check this season out then.

I hope she's the killer just so Denise can pop out. "I goddamn told y'all!"

Yep this cast sounds like I need to give it a shot. Need my TV horror fix anyway since AHS went to shit and Scream Queens got canceled.

 

[MIMIC]

Just as I was getting used to the TV show mask

 

[shoelacer]

only one classic Ghostface mask in my book

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I'm torn because this does look good, but they did the old cast dirty by deciding to have Season 3 be a completely new story/cast/direction and not telling the old cast season 2 would be the end of their work there

Bex deserved better

 

[chrisPjelly]

New cast, huh? As much I enjoyed S2 waaay more than S1, dunno why they didn't do that from the start of S2. Kinda makes the build up towards the old backstory pointless... unless this is a red herring, of course.

 

[EloquentM]

This is already in the third season???

yeah, fuck that.

Will probably catch the bluray when it comes out, will not watch this live.

 

[Joni]

No Carlson Young, no Bex Taylor-Klaus, no John Karna. Classic Scream masker doesn't make up for it.

 

[FullMetaltech]

I really enjoyed S1 and S2. I did prefer the older mask so this is great news.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Finally, got really tired of looking at that blow-up doll mask for the last two seasons.

 

[jwk94]

yeah, fuck that.

Will probably catch the bluray when it comes out, will not watch this live.

But you're still supporting it, so why does that matter?

 

[Slayven]

I thought this had been canceled

 

[Barkley's Justice]

only one classic Ghostface mask in my book

Right?? lolol

Came here expecting this tbh.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Interesting that they're going for a minority led cast this season, even got Queen Latifah producing.

Even moved to Atlanta.

I liked the first two seasons, 1 more than 2 and the Halloween special as well.

So I'll definitely check this out.

 

[Horsemama1956]

Doesn't change the fact this show is basically One Tree Hill or 90210 with murders. It's so bad.

 

[redhood56]

Didn't season 2 flop? I'm surprised they are making a season 3.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Pass. They ruined this. They couldn't even finish the last story from Season 2. All new actors and story for this Season. How about nope.

 

[Slaythe]

In what fucking world is season 2 better than 1?

It was one of the worst thing I've watched...

 

[Kard8p3]

New characters??? but but Noah (

 

[bonchooski]

FUCK YES!!!!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

No Carlson Young, no Bex Taylor-Klaus, no John Karna. Classic Scream masker doesn't make up for it.

Preach. It's just hard for me to get on board with this after the entire cast from the first two seasons (and a movie!) was jettisoned into space. Bringing the mask back seems like a cheap stunt to woo people in. Can't blame them but it's painfully transparent

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Yeah, I don't give a shit about the mask anymore. Fuck them for just dropping all the plot lines and thinking they can pull a gimmick like bringing the mask back to make people all okay about it. Screw that.

 

[RoadHazard]

Huh, I thought this show was killed off? They did that special and everything. Guess it got picked up by another network? I don't know where it originally aired, I watched it on Netflix. But I did enjoy it, so it returning is cool with me.

S3 is basically a reboot

No, it was always on MTV.

 

[jwk94]

Could this all be a ruse? Surely they didn't just dump the old cast when their stories were still going on.

 

[F0rneus]

Hmm, were people this mad when Power Rangers Turbo had that big, mid-season shake-up?

Turbo brought us TJ. Now Scream is bringing us RJ. It's all connected.

 

[jwk94]

Lmao I wish.

Alright, thanks. It's just that I'm absolutely positive I read that it was cancelled. I remember watching the finale special knowing it was the last I would see if this show. Did that happen, and then they changed their minds, or am I going crazy?

 

[LakeEarth]

Maybe you're thinking of Scream Queens, which did get cancelled. Scream is basically cancelling the story they were building on up to this point, but the show itself is getting another chance.

You are going crazy. Show was never cancelled.

 

[Joni]

No. Season 3 was announced before that. It is why the special ends on a cliffhanger.

Well, in a way, it was the last you'd see of that version of the show. They were pretty quiet on the cancellation front after the movie aired; most people speculated it would be due to ratings, but it was never official. Then they released all the original actors from their contracts and decided a fresh start could, I don't know, somehow get them a new or bigger audience.

Well, alright, lol. Never watched Scream Queens, so don't think so.

[F0rneus]

So good to see this.

 

[jwk94]

So good to see this.

That's legit scary. I wish there was a Scream 5 =/

 

[Jason Frost]

So, the story arc for season 2 will really never get its closure?

 

[Rymuth]

I thought this had been canceled

Same here.

So is this technically a reboot? Can i jump back with this season?

 

[F0rneus]

So far it appears to be a brand new story, totally unconnected to anything else. But because of the costume and mask, I hope they will tie it to the 4 movies, somehow.

Yep. Just dropping the previous characters and storylines was bullshit. I don't really give a shit what mask the killer is wearing.
