One of the most successful horror movie franchises in recent years is headed to television, TVLine.com reports, with MTV working on an adaptation of the “Scream” movies as a weekly series.

Former MTV executives Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley are overseeing the project under their DiGa banner and are searching for a writer to work on a pilot, the story reports. It’s not clear whether the films’ driving forces Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven will be involved the TV series.

The four "Scream" movies have tallied $500 million in sales globally, although the most recent film grossed a disappointing $40 million domestically.
