MTV teams with super-producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein on a TV series adaptation of the hit horror film franchise. Instigated by a cyberbullying incident that goes viral, a brutal murder in Lakewood stirs memories of a crime spree from the town's past that has haunted some, intrigued others and maybe just spawned a new executioner. At the center of the story is a group of teenagers -- with two old friends struggling to reconnect at its heart -- who, says the network, "become lovers, enemies, suspects, targets and victims of a killer who's out for blood."

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lacking truly compelling characters or scenarios, Scream is forced to trade too heavily on nostalgia for its big-screen predecessors in the franchise.

Ben Travers IndieWire Aug 23, 2019
Partly due to formal inefficiency, partly due to an uneven focus, very little of the first episode of Scream works. Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Aug 22, 2019
The writers try to copy the conceit of the original Scream, a horror movie built on droll horror-movie references. But the efforts are often clumsy, flagged with a wink-winking that deadens the gimmick. Go to Full Review Orly Greenberg Observer Aug 22, 2019
This show does what it is designed to do. It gives you cheap thrills, introduces some very attractive characters, and makes you wonder who exactly is killing all of these nice (read: really, really mean) teenagers Go to Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting Mar 6, 2026
While the television series can’t replace or surpass the movies, it also doesn’t deserve its bad rap. Go to Full Review Chris Hansell Cultured Vultures Oct 4, 2019
Scream's ensemble are endearing in their own little world, but if you're watching episodes in between better shows, it's easy for them to fall flat. Go to Full Review Samuel Zimmerman ComingSoon.net Aug 23, 2019
If the blend of CW or ABC Family teen nonsense and slasher appeals to you, then much of Scream the TV Series is itself good fun. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Scream works both as a film and TV series. This was my personal favorite show on MTV and it still holds up over 10 years later! I hope we get a season 4 one day cause I loved this show so much when it first came out! 9/10 See more Brenden D @WestWardReviews Dec 26, 2025 A Decent Enough But Overall Faltering Start To A Scream Franchise That Could Have Had Great Potential The Roster Of Characters Are Interesting Enough, The Drama Is Hit Or Miss, Some Decent Enough Red Heirings, The Kills Are Knarly, Although Some Of The Effects Feel Like High School Quality. The Final Reveal & Execution At The End Falls Short With The Killer's Identity As It Leaves A Lot Of Questions...... Like How The Hell A Parent Didn't Know The Gender Of A Child She Gave Birth To Before Giving Them Up. They Try To Explain Away Other Inconsistencies, But Even With More To Come Later, This First Beat Felt A Little Sloppy. Noah As Our Meta Commentator Is Easily One Of The Highlights Of The Series. Willa Fitzgerald As Main Girl Emma Is Mostly Solid. Not A Season I Hated, But Not One I'm Running To Go Back To Anytime Soon. C+ or B- 5.5-6.1/10 You Could Do Worse, But Nothing You Need To Rush To Watch Right Away. See more Read all reviews
