Fans of "Scream: The TV Series" will continue to be shocked and scared because the new horror series got renewed for a second season. MTV confirmed the renewal of the show at the 2015 Television Critics Association summer press tour.
Mina Lefevre of MTV stated in an Entertainment Weekly report that the network is looking forward to have another season of "Scream: The TV Series" filled with suspense, horror and more shocking story twists. Lefevre declared that working with Bob Weinstein and his team, who are experts on the genre, has been a wonderful experience.
Lefevre further added that MTV is thrilled with the viewers' response to the TV adaptation of the "Scream" movie franchise. Bob Weinstein, the co-chairman of the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films, assured the viewers that there will be more scares, surprises, romance and kills in "Scream: The TV Series" Season 2.
"We couldn't be happier ‘Scream' has been renewed for a second season," Weinstein stated in a Variety report. Weinstein also admitted that he and his team have a wonderful working relationship with Mina Lefevre and her team, Doug Herzog, Susanne Daniels and Stephen Friedman.
When asked how can "Scream: The TV Series" survive another season because characters are getting killed, executive producer Jaime Paglia explained to Variety before the show's premiere that the story is made for television through a certain level of planning and sophistication. Paglia added that the show needed a killer that could contend with the intelligent psychopaths of other TV shows like "Hannibal," "American Horror Story," "The Following" and "Dexter."
"This is not a killer who is going to take risks," Paglia teased. In the upcoming new episode of "Scream: The TV Series," lead female character Emma Duvall (Willa Fitzgerald) will be racing against time in saving Will Belmont (Connor Weil) from the Ghostface killer's dangerous game of hide-and-seek.
"Scream: The TV Series" episode 7 titled "In the Trenches" will air on Tuesday night, Aug. 11, at 10/9c on MTV. The finale episode of the pilot season is scheduled to air on Sept. 1.
