After six seasons on MTV's supernatural drama series "Teen Wolf," Tyler Posey has taken on a new role in the upcoming horror movie "Scream." The film, which is a reboot of the 1996 slasher classic, will see Posey alongside a young cast of rising stars.
From Teen Wolf to Scream
Posey became a household name through his role as Scott McCall in "Teen Wolf," which aired from 2011 to 2017. The show followed a high school student who becomes a werewolf and navigates the supernatural world while trying to maintain a normal life. Posey's performance earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.
Now, Posey is taking on a new challenge with "Scream." The film is being directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of the filmmaking group Radio Silence. The story follows a woman returning to her hometown to solve a series of brutal murders that are connected to her past.

Now, over 25 years later, a new generation of horror fans will have the chance to experience the terror of "Scream." The film's cast includes Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, and Jack Quaid alongside Posey. The movie is set to be released in January 2022.
