Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Thank God. Finally some new news regarding the upcoming third season of MTV SCREAM. Even if it is kinda 'meh' news, at least it's something! Anyhow, MTV, together with Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Entertainment, today announced that Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee, Grammy Award-winning artist, Mary J. Blige, will appear in MTV’s SCREAM: THE TV SERIES later this year.  

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Atlanta, SCREAM Season 3 features a brand-new cast of characters destined to fall prey to the mysterious killer known as “Ghostface." The series centers on 

Deion Elliot, a local star football running back, whose tragic past comes back to haunt him and threaten his hard-earned plans for the future… and the lives of his unlikely group of friends. 

Blige plays Deion’s mother, Sherry Elliot.

She joins the previously announced all-star cast including Keke Palmer, Tyler Posey, Tyga, Giorgia Whigham, Jessica Sula, RJ Cyler, C.J. Wallace and Giullian Yao Gioiello. 

MTV’s SCREAM is executive produced by Queen Latifah, Shakim Compere and Yaneley Arty for Flavor Unit Entertainment. Brett Matthews (LEGACIES, VAMPIRE DIARIES, and SUPERNATURAL) will serve as Showrunner and Executive Producer. Additional Executive Producers are Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena and Cathy Konrad. Matthew Signer & Keith Levine are Producers. Maggie Malina and Dana Gotlieb-Carter are Executive Producers for MTV.

Still no word on when season three will air… but stay tuned!
