Having been in development for some time now, MTV has officially announced that it has given a ten-episode series order to a smalls creen adaptation of the 90s slasher Scream, with the show set to get underway in October.
At this point in time, it’s unclear how closely the series will stick to the source material, with rumours suggesting that the iconic killer Ghostface will be absent from the show, and producer Harvey Weinstein hinting at a supernatural element which of course was not present in any of the movies.
Jill Blotevogel is serving as showrunner on Scream, while the cast includes Bex Taylor-Klaus, Audrey Jensen, Willa Fitzgerald, John Karna, Connor Weil, Amadeus Serafini, Carlson Young, Tracy Middendorf and Joel Gretsch. Harvey and Bob Weinstein will produce alongside Wes Craven, although Scream creator Kevin Williamson has no involvement with the show.
