While Harvey Weinstein hopes to get an unlikely Scream 5 off the ground, it’s full steam ahead for the Scream TV series.

But anyone expecting closure on Sidney Prescott, Gail Weathers and Dewey Riley’s story will be sorely disappointed in the MTV show. According to Movie Web, Harvey Weinstein revealed that the show  may be completely different from the film franchise we know and love:

While we don’t have a direct quote from Harvey Weinstein, he revealed that the series won’t have much to do with the original movie franchise, representing a new direction with supernatural elements.

Lack of a direct quote aside, it sounds like Scream the TV series may be going in the same direction as the Friday the 13th series in the 1980s, which is quite honestly a good thing. The idea of a Scream show with ghostface and all that never made much sense, but if we’re looking at an anthology series or multiple mini-series like American Horror Story, I’m in.
