The horror series is an adaptation of the 1996 slasher film franchise by Wes Craven starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
Bob and Harvey Weinstein executive produce “Scream” alongside showrunners Jill Blotevogel and Jaime Paglia; John Shiban is a consulting producer. Additional executive producers are Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena and Cathy Konrad.
“Scream” airs Tuesdays on MTV at 10 p.m.
