MTV's adaptation of the famous "Scream" franchise may not star Neve Campbell or Drew Barrymore, but if its trailer is any indication, the small-screen version promises to bring edge-of-your-seat chills.

When the small town of Lakewood is rocked by the brutal murder of Nina Patterson (played by Bella Thorne in a throwback to Barrymore's role), a YouTube video goes viral, and a group of teenagers are faced with the realization that Nina's sudden death may be connected to another gruesome murder that occurred two decades prior. Can these high school students get to the bottom of the town's troubled past before more lives are lost?

Get to know the cast and characters of the highly anticipated slasher series, and catch the premiere in all its gruesome glory on Tuesday, June 30 at 10/9c!
