MTV has just ordered a full season for their long in development horror adaptation, Scream, which is of course based on the 1996 horror film of the same name.
The season consist of a 10-episode order intended for an October 2015 release. As previously stated, it will air on MTV with Dimension TV co-producing. In what is sure to be refreshing to some and mind-boggling to others, previous reports suggest that we shouldn't expect to see the Ghostface killer immediately in the show but we will see him later in the season.
The show's cast of characters are, like in the original trilogy, high school students and include a shy, yet popular girl named Emma (played by actress 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). The show also stars Joel Gretsch as Sheriff Clark Hudson (Kieran’s father) and Tracy Middendorf as Maggie.
The pilot will be written by Jay Beattie and Dan Dworken (
Criminal Minds), directed by Jamie Travis (
Faking It), and the show will be run by Jill Blotevogel (
Ravenswood). Wes Craven, director of all four of the films that this show is based on, will be an executive producer.
