With the success of their My Psycho Sweet 16 franchise and the popularity of genre television, is it any wonder that a TV show based on the Wes Craven slasher franchise Scream has been greenlit by MTV for a pilot?

THR reports that MTV is moving forward with an official pilot order for “Scream” the TV series.

Produced with Dimension Films, MTV is currently in search of writers for the one-hour project while Scream director Wes Craven is in discussions to direct the pilot. Should “Scream” receive a series order, it would be slated for a summer 2014 launch and would join current scripted offerings “Teen Wolf” (also adapted from a film franchise) and “Awkward.”

So what do you guys think? Something to scream about or no?
