MTV’s Scream is getting a second season!

Although Scream has only aired five episodes so far, MTV has doubled down and ordered a second season of its newest drama. The announcement was made today at the Television Critics Association Press Tour.

“The Scream franchise has been such a huge part of our history and to watch it evolve, find a new generation of fans and succeed at MTV makes this all the more sweet. We promise even more scares, surprises, romance and of course kills in season 2,” said MTV in a press release.

So far Scream has been proving to be a moderate success for the network. It’s held a stable number of viewers from week to week and is doing decently on OnDemand.

But this does seem to be a decision that was in the works for a while.

If you have been paying attention, the Scream renewal may not come as much of a shock to you. Due to an interesting sequence of events during San Diego Comic-Con, we at Hypable predicted that Scream would be getting a second season.

What this basically implies is that MTV has had confidence in its freshman show since the beginning and they’re confident in its ability to perform.
