Back in April, character details surfaced for the upcoming MTV Scream series based on the horror film franchise. While the pilot was set to film in early June, no casting information has been released. The Scream devoted website, HelloSidney, searched for and posted videos of auditions for the casting directors, which inspired me to do some digging for additional actors vying for roles to the upcoming series.
After sifting through auditions, here are some actors I think show promise, and are standouts for the slasher television show. Keep in mind none of these actors are official cast members! I especially enjoy the fact that the writing seems to encompass the pop culture, self aware horror knowledge that made the films smarter than a typical slasher movie. If anything, this provides more than enough hope for the skeptical fans.
Check it out, and let us know what you think!
WILL BELMONT. MALE. 18+
to play a good 16-year-old, tall, very attractive, athletic. Will’s a high school basketball player who wants to get a basketball scholarship to college. Will loves his girlfriend, Emma (fka Harper)…SERIES REGULAR
JAKE FITZGERALD. MALE. 18+
to play a 16-year-old, handsome, athletic; Jake is Will’s well-muscled wing man, who’s also on the basketball team. Jake has a wry humor which can turn crass sometimes; he’s got a crush on Brooke but seems to take her careless rejection of him in stride. Jake likes to play pranks, especially when he’s at a party and drinking too much, but it’s possible that one of Jake’s “pranks” went too far…RECURRING GUEST STAR.
BROOKE MADDOX. Female, 18+
to play a gorgeous 16-year-old. She is the high gloss queen bee who thinks she’s nice and the world’s just reading her wrong; capable of being bubbly and seemingly-genuine. She’s also capable of being ferociously sexy. Brooke is the leader of the popular girls, but she’s not technically a mean girl. The daughter of a very wealthy family, Brooke’s achievements include ballet, horseback riding, and world travel…SERIES REGULAR
KIERAN WILCOX. MALE. 18+
to play a smoking hot 16-year-old with intense eyes and smoldering appeal. He’s smart, wry, and a bit more mature than his peers. Kieran is the new kid at school who has moved here because his mother and stepdad died in a car accident three weeks ago. He is somewhat reluctantly forced to live with his dad—who is Sheriff Hudson..SERIES REGULAR
Emma Duval. FEMALE. 18+
to play a 16-year-old beauty “who’s a little too introverted and intellectual to be a social butterfly” but has nevertheless been annointed by the popular crowd to be one of their own. “She feels guilty that she has drifted away from former best friend Audrey,” but at least she’s got a Gilmore Girls-esque relationship with mom Maggie to keep her sane.
RILEY MARRA Female, 18+
to play 16, a gorgeous “ditz” who may be deeper, smarter, and have more eclectic interests than is first apparent. Riley is a member in good standing of the popular group that includes Brooke, Will, Emma, and Jake. Unlike the classic popular kids, Riley doesn’t mind going beyond the clique if she finds someone who she connects with…RECURRING GUEST STAR.
