Trivia
On October 14th, 2016, MTV confirmed that Scream was renewed for a third season. *
 * According to original showrunners Michael Gans and Richard Register, the original plot for the third season was as follows: In season 3, fans would have seen Willa Fitzgerald's Emma returning to Lakewood, despite trying to leave and start over. As the season progressed, it would've approached what Scream has become famous for, going in the meta direction. With Emma returning home, more killings would continue and we would have seen surviving characters from the previous seasons dealing with their pain and trauma. They also had a precise idea for a plot point — providing a callback to one of the most iconic horror films ever made, and it included a character that ended up dying in the show’s Halloween special: “We pitched this kind of Silence of the Lambs thing. Someone was doing the killings at Kieran’s bidding, and the only person he would tell what was going on to was Emma. So she came in, and they had to sit face-to-face, and meanwhile, people are being killed. So they’re in a race against time to stop this from happening, all the while she’s sitting with him.”
 * The fourth season pitch drove that idea home, and left room for anyone in the Scream universe to join the storyline: “Willa Fitzgerald, Bex Taylor-Klaus, and John Karna all track a real life version of the Lakewood 6 that was stolen and woven into the series by the desperate original writer.”
 * Season 2 showrunners, Michael Gans and Richard Register, were replaced by new ones for the new season.
 * This season is the shortest season of the series due to the fact that it only had six episodes.
 * On March 6th, 2017, Tracy Middendorf announced on twitter that she would not be reprising her role of Maggie Duval in the third season of Scream.

 * Jessica Sula as Liv. Liv is the new girl at school. As a member of the cheer squad and an honor roll student, the teen seems to have a good head on her shoulders and an ideal life. But as she and Deion grow closer, amid the murder and mayhem, it becomes clear that she has just as many secrets as everyone else.

 * Giorgia Whigham as Beth. Caustic and darkly funny, Beth is the resident goth girl and a local tattoo artist. As an unapologetic fan of horror films, she's outspoken about her encyclopedic knowledge of movie murder -- which is sure to come in handy with a killer on the loose.

 * Giullian Yao Gioiello as Manny. Manny, who is openly gay, is loyal to a fault. Usually the smartest person in the room, he’s destined to achieve great things.
