The ultimate slasher/comedy flick, Scream, is becoming a television series. The 1996 movie followed teenager Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, as her town is savagely terrorized by a mass murderer dressed in a “ghost face” costume.
The film generated so much success that three other movies were made, with the last one, Scream 4, premiering in 2011.
Rumors have been running wild on the Internet over whether or not the Scream franchise would get green lit for a television show. Well now we can rest easy. MTV has filmed the first season of Scream and it’s set to premiere June 30, 2015.

While there is not much known about the show’s plot, executive producer Harvey Weinstein assures that there are moments reminiscent of the original film.
The Scream trailer shows that the killers may not be carrying on the tradition of the “ghost face” mask. The iconic costume from the films may have been cut from the series, but time will tell.
