I have everything but a good feeling about this, seeing as Scream 4 was a breath of fresh air, they shouldn't start digging their own grave with a TV series now. I mean, look at Hannibal and Bates motel, two of the most successful horror films of ALL time and we already see their rating plummeting in the 4th-5th week, what makes them think this will work? Cant they let a franchise die? But I guess in the generation of reboots I should have seen this coming
