Woodsboro (TV Series)

Woodsboro is an American horror/mystery TV series that is based on the Scream movies by Wes Craven. The series is named after the fictional town in the movies and takes place many years after the fourth movie where Sidney seemingly killed the last of the Ghostface serial killers.

Season One
When the lead actor of the Stab franchise leaves, people are left wondering what a series is meant to do when the main person in it is gone. This debate is strong between high school student Serah Jameson and her friends Jackson, Caroline, and Vincent. However, this becomes the least of their worries when the dead body of a woman is found and it is confirmed to be a murder, causing people to believe that someone has once again taken up the mantle of Ghostface.
