Based on the slasher movies, this TV series wasn’t exactly a “killer” in the ratings but it did well enough for MTV to renew Scream for a second season. Will the ratings rise or fall this time around? Cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

Season two of the Scream TV show picks up with Emma Duval (Willa Fitzgerald) returning to Lakewood. She’s spent several months at a retreat and hopes to put the horrific events of last season behind her. Good luck with that. The rest of the cast includes Amadeus Serafini, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Carlson Young, Conner Weil, John Karna, Kiana Lede, Santiago Segura, Sean Grandillo, Tom Maden, and Mike Vaughn (voice only).

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
