MTV may be giving their Scream TV series the reboot treatment. Based on Wes Craven‘s game-changing 1996 slasher of the same name, Scream was a major IP with nostalgia value to boot, which is probably why the show debuted big. But viewership dropped by half in the second season, probably after fans realized the show doesn’t share all that much DNA with its namesake, and now the network is looking to hit the reset button with a new storyline and new cast.

Scream was renewed for a 6-episode third season, a reduced order from the 10 and 13-episode first and second seasons, back in October. Deadline reports that MTV, who remains committed to the series after a major regime overhaul, has tentative plans to start fresh with a reimagining of the title, though a new showrunner has not been found yet. The report also says the cast has been given permission to seek other roles, and star Willa Fitzgerald just booked a role in Fox’s Behind Enemy Lines Pilot.

MTV and Dimension did not provide comments.
