MTV executives are investing in the horror genre and have picked up a full season of the Scream remake.

The 10-episode order has been a long time coming for the TV remake. Seeing as it was all the way back in June 2012 that we first heard of the MTV adaptation.

And although the journey from conception to pickup has been a rocky one — with recasting of major characters taking place as well as the elimination and addition of new characters — MTV hasn’t given up on its little slasher show hopes and dreams.

The channel is, however, making it clear that they hope to reimagine the movie series and turn it into a more modern day television success. Likely hoping to mirror the success they had with their ’80s remake of Teen Wolf.

The premise revolves around a YouTube video going viral, which soon leads to problems for teenager Audrey and presumably acts as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window in the quiet town of Lakewood with a troubled past.

The second potential deviation revolves around whether or not the franchise’s iconic Ghostface will make an appearance within the show. As of now there are no plans to unveil the signature baddie, but plans could change as the show progresses further.

As it stands, here are the final character breakdowns and actors who will be portraying them:

Actress: Willa Fitzgerald
Emma Duval – 16, a classic beauty whose looks and popularity hide a natural shyness and intellectual nature. Her new life with the “in crowd” leaves her estranged from her childhood best friend, Audrey. Emma is the lead in MTV’s Scream take and bears a resemblance to Neve Campbell’s tortured high school student Sidney Prescott in the 1996 feature film.

Actress: Bex Taylor-Klaus
Audrey Jesen – Ex best friend of Emma and the bi-curious daughter of a Lutheran pastor. More arresting-looking than pretty and is an artsy loner who dreams of being a filmmaker.

Actor: John Karna
Noah Foster – Audrey’s best friend who is creative, brilliant and tech-savvy enough to be the next Steve Jobs. The John Cusack in his teens. And has an encyclopedic knowledge of books, films, TV, apps, etc.

Actor: Connor Weil
Will Belmont – 16, tall, very attractive, athletic, a good kid. Will’s a high school basketball player who wants to get a basketball scholarship to college. Will loves his girlfriend, Emma.

Actress: Carlson Young
Brooke Maddox – 16, gorgeous, 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 and 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.

Actor: Amadeus Serafini
Kieran Wilcox – 16, smoking hot, with intense eyes and smoldering appeal, smart, wry, 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.

Actor: Tom Maden
Jake Fitzgerald – 16, 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.

Actress: Brianne Tju
Riley Marra – 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 whom she connects with.

Actor: Joel Gretsch
Sheriff Clark Hudson – 40s, handsome, smart, compassionate. Sheriff Hudson is a good man and a good sheriff, who doesn’t go with the easy answers. He’s kind and empathetic when he has to deal with a young person who’s been traumatized, but he’s clearly not going to stop till he finds the truth…

Actor: Bobby Campo
Seth Branson – A hot English teacher at Lakewood High who has an easy charm and is clearly one of the “cool” teachers, who can go with it if a lesson plan gets a little off-track.

Actress: Tracy Middendorf
Margaret “Maggie” Duval – Harper’s mother and the local medical examiner. This 40-something mom is said to be a grown-up science geek who plays down her beauty and who is hiding a dark secret from her past.
