*Update: Scream has been cancelled, so there won’t be a fourth season (at least for now).
They should’ve kept up with the same story, season 3 was a let down and utter waste of time
The ratings are up over MTV and I think the story benefited from the shorter episode length. I don’t know how this show’s production cost are compared to its reality shows, but if VH1 wanted to get into scripted shows I think Scream is a nice start.
Personally I think since the show was pawned off to VH1 then they should honor the many pissed off fans that would like the Season 1 and 2 cast to have their story be given a proper ending. We were left with a cliff hanger and an open ended story.
It needs another season but they need to finish the season 1&2 of MTV version because I want to kno who the killer was who killed keran
Give it a Fourth season! This show was the best horror I’ve seen on television in awhile, the new cast was fantastic and definitely deserve another round with Ghostface!
