Bella Thorne is joining the cast of MTV's "Scream" series, but it will likely be a short gig. The former "Shake It Up" star has confirmed she has a role on the television adaptation of the slasher film franchise.

In a Facebook Q&A, a fan asked Thorne, "Bella it's true that you will appear on the first episode of scream TV series in 2015?" The 17-year-old actress replied, "Yes it is true. I will re-enact the famous scene of drew barrymore in the original series."

Fans of the "Scream" movie series would know what happened to Drew Barrymore's character in the first film. Thus, it appears that Thorne will only be featured in the first episode of the MTV series.

"Scream" TV series is set in high school and follows some students: shy popular girl Emma (Willa Fitzgerald), artsy loner Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus), computer geek Noah (John Karna), all-American athlete Will (Connor Weil), ferocious socialite Brooke (Carlson Young), and mysterious new kid Kieran (Amadeus Serafini). Joel Gretsch also stars as Sheriff Clark Hudson (Kieran's father) and Tracy Middendorf plays Maggie.

Harvey and Bob Weinstein will executive produce the series along with Wes Craven, who directed all "Scream" movies. The 10-episode first season is expected to premiere in October 2015.
