The Viacom-owned cable network, which recently saw Chris McCarthy tapped to come in to lead the network, is officially retooling the third season of the film-to-TV reboot. The previously announced six-episode third season will now feature a brand-new cast, new location and a largely new creative team as the story is poised to become less white.
Behind the scenes, Brett Matthews (The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural) has been tapped to serve as Scream's latest showrunner. (Scream will be his first time serving as showrunner.) Additionally, Queen Latifah, Shakim Conpere and Yaneley Arty will join the series as executive producers via Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment banner. Harvey and Bob Weinstein will remain on board as exec producers via Dimension TV as will Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena and Cathy Conrad. Matthew Singer and Keith Levine produce.
