Wes Craven’s clever postmodern-slasher Scream dwindled onto its trilogy (with the fourth film somewhat redeeming the franchise); yet the following it has cultivated is enough for a big-to-small screen transition. Because unless it hasn’t sunk in, American television is eternally obsessed with serial killers (only currently a quintuple times more, think: Hannibal, Bates Motel, True Detective and the likes).
Thus, it is no surprise to see Ghostface returning, with MTV picking it up, perhaps to pair with their other nostalgic horror series Teen Wolf, which, it goes without saying, is instantly addictive. So if there’s hope on the horizon, it is solely that it is because that these folks seem to know what they are doing and will not butcher the already half-butchered film series.
But then things went from lukewarm to exciting, with batch after batch of casting news coming in, and now we have an entire roster of actors from The Final Destination, CW’s Arrow and SyFy’s Shark-freaking-nado! I mean, if you are going to make a TV series about teenagers obsessed with genre films, it is requisite to cast someone from Sharknado, isn’t it?
No? Um, okay…
Regardless, THR is reporting a large batch of casting information about the upcoming television series.

Apparently, there is a replacement: Bex Taylor-Klaus, who recurs as Sin in CW’s hit superhero series Arrow, is replacing Amy Forsyth as Audrey, described as an “artsy loner who aspires to be a filmmaker.” Willa Fitzgerald is still on-board as Emma Duvall, “a classic beauty whose looks and popularity hide a natural shyness and intellectual nature.” In short, she is this show’s Sidney Prescott equivalent.
Dufus-equivalent is certainly more stern-looking with Joel Gretsch (of The Witches of East End fame) as Sheriff Clark Hudson.
On their respective recurring roles, Bobby Campo (The Final Destination) will play “a hot English teacher at Lakewood High who has an easy charm and is clearly one of the “cool” teachers, who can go with it if a lesson plan gets a little off-track.” Ugh. Connor Weil (Sharknado) is Lakewood High’s “all-american” (double ugh’s on that) B-baller who is also Emma’s beau.
Besides all that are given (think half-hispterish soundtrack and sugary if strangely engaging teenage-romantic arcs) and the speculation of Ghostface as a real ghost (an obvious gesture at not repeating the film series, yet rings very untrue to the material), this is basically all we have for you right now.
The pilot is to be directed by Jamie Travis (Faking It) with Jay Beattie and Dan Dworkin penning the script and Jill Blotvogel (Ravenswood) show-running. No news on whether Wes Craven’s involvement goes beyond exec producer and on the show’s as-yet-unannounced air date. We’ll just have to keep you posted ’til news come.
