Scream TV Series: Everything You Need To Know
Someone has taken their love of scary movies one step too far.
TV shows based on films are nothing particularly new, although the quality of them can vary dramatically. Some take only the basic concept of the movie and turn it into something far superior, such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Many manage to stand apart in their own right, while not quite eclipsing the original big-screen version, with recent examples of this including Hannibal and Bates Motel. Then there are those that just completely fail. Bill and Ted didnt need a TV adventure, and Ferris Bueller shouldnt have taken another day off. Theres a lot of upcoming shows hoping to fall into one of the first two categories, including Limitless and Minority Report set to air later this year, and one of the biggest is coming this summer: Scream. Based on the 1996 slasher-film (and its subsequent sequels), MTV will be updating and adding their own twist on the story, and expanding it to fill a ten-episode season. Understandably there are plenty of reservations about it, but cause for optimism as well. Maybe the closest example is Fargo, a beloved mid-90s film that no one wanted to be turned into a TV show, but then it actually turned out rather great. Hopes will be high that Scream can do something similar. It stats airing on MTV from 30 June, so heres everything you need to know about it before then
