Murder and mayhem: In Lake-
wood, everyone can hear you
scream. Last year, MTV brought a
classic horror/slasher franchise
from movie screens to TV screens,
and the body count — that is, the
bodies of living, breathing viewers
— was high enough that a second
season is upon us.
Season 2 of "Scream" pre-
mieres Monday, May 30, on
MTV, with a story that's a direct
continuation of the first sea-
son's events. Emma (Willa
Fitzgerald, "Royal Pains") re-
turns to Lakewood after taking
some time to recover at a dis-
tant retreat, but a new killer
may already be searching for
victims.
Of course, with the body count
— that is, central characters who
met with a bloody end — as high
as it was in the first season, the
second has had to bring on some
new actors and introduce some
new characters.
The newcomers to Lakewood
include Kiana Ledé ("Deadlands:
The Rising," 2006) as a young
woman with a dangerous secret;
Anthony Ruivivar ("Tropic Thun-
der," 2008) as a sheriff who's re-
turning to his hometown after
years away; Austin Highsmith
("Dolphin Tale," 2011) as a
school psychology teacher with a
connection to her students; Santi-
ago Segura ("Delirium," 2014) as
a loner who's a bit too obsessed
with comic books; Sean Grandillo
("Secrets and Lies") as someone
who seems to be a bit too "goody
two-shoes"; and Karina Logue
("Argo," 2012) as a girl whose
politeness disguises a steely inte-
rior.
That's a lot of newcomers, but
luckily there are more familiar fac-
es around Lakewood, too. In addi-
tion to Fitzgerald, Bex Taylor-Klaus
("The Last Witch Hunter," 2015),
Tom Maden ("Make It or Break
It"), Carlson Young ("As the Bell
Rings"), John Karna ("Premature,"
2014), Amadeus Serafini ("Oh La
La, Hollywood Speaks French!")
and Tracy Middendorf ("Board-
walk Empire") are all back this
season.
The original "Scream," which
hit cinemas in 1996, was a huge hit
that spawned a successful movie
franchise. While MTV's first season
of "Scream" was met with mixed
reviews by critics, it found itself an
audience hungry for the self-aware
slasher style that made the original
film so special.
