‘Scream’ Clip: MTV Unveils the First 8 Minutes

MTV’s new Scream series is based on the Scream films and the eight-minute clip the network’s just released from episode one is an homage to the first scene in the original Scream movie. That scene featured Drew Barrymore at home by herself, popping popcorn and getting ready to watch a movie. In MTV’s Scream, it’s Bella Thorne who’s at home when the Ghostface killer reveals he/she is stalking her via a series of text messages.

The cast also includes Willa Fitzgerald as “Emma,” Bex Taylor-Klaus as “Audrey,” Carlson Young as “Brooke,” Amadeus Serafini as “Kieran,” John Karna as “Noah,” Connor Weil as “Will,” Tracy Middendorf as “Maggie,” and Jason Wiles as “Sheriff Hudson.”

MTV is set to premiere Scream on June 30, 2015 at 10pm ET/PT.

The Plot: After a cyber-bullying incident results in a brutal murder, the shocking violence stirs up memories of a killing spree from the past that has haunted some, intrigued others and maybe just inspired a new killer. A group of teens – with two old friends struggling to reconnect at its heart – become lovers, enemies, suspects, targets, and victims of a killer who’s out for blood.
