SCREAM SEASON 3

So since season 2′s ratings have been terrible, and it’s very possible that the show will be cancelled, my friend and I thought that we’d continue the story. The plan right now will be to write 10 50-60 page scripts, the first one released in October or November. The plan to release one every week or two is something we’re still thinking about. (You’ll need to forgive us if it takes us a while to get them out, since we’ll need to put a lot of time and effort into it.)

It’s a big task, but it’s one we’re willing to take. We’ve already pinned down a new setting, the opening scene (some of which has already been written), some of the basic storyline and a couple of new characters. Changes will no doubt have to be made depending on how season 2 concludes – who survives, any storylines still to be wrapped up, etc – but that won’t be too much of an obstacle.

What we’re aiming for is to bring back a lot of things everyone loves about the movies. Season 1 and 2 have done some of this brilliantly, but in our season there will be a ton more phone calls, chase scenes, homages and double the amount of deaths. We know reading a script every week isn’t the same as watching it on unfold on TV, but we think a lot of people will appreciate being able to spend more time with these characters you love.

I’m putting this out there right now just to see how many people would be interested in reading. If you are, like this, reblog it, comment or send me a message. If there is enough interest, we’ll jump right into it and try and write the best thing we possibly can. Fingers crossed we do get season 3, but if not, well you’ll know where to come to get one.

More details soon.

UPDATE!

As of right now, this is still happening. I was hoping to release the first episode on December 20, the 20th anniversary of the original movie, but I don’t see that being a realistic deadline. I have some really fun ideas, the killer(s) and his/her/their motivations pinned down, which was one of the most difficult plot points to figure out. I can’t tell you exactly when you’ll get to read this, but it’ll be early in the new year and I’m really excited to share it.

Most people might wonder, what’s the point if we’re getting a third season? I agree, but it’s a fun little project that I’d be 100% committed to, and I’d cater to both fans of the TV show and the movies. (In my opinion, MTV should just fucking hire me cuz I think I’d be able to give the show the best sendoff possible).

P.S. May make a Tumblr page for it soon so you all can keep up to date. Open to hearing your thoughts and things you’d like to see in a season completely dedicated to Scream fans.

M. GANS: The thing about doing a show like this is that you always want to push it up to another level, you have to because the idea is to not know what to expect; in doing that we’ve gone in a different route with how the killer is revealed and then where we go with that at the end of the season.
