There are no plans in place to bring the masked killer from the films to the small screen, according to Ghostface designer RJ Torbert.

"I had been in communication with The Weinstein Company regarding this, and they have informed me - that as of now and during the initial launch - that Ghostface is not involved in the new format," he said in a Q&A (via Ghostface.co.uk).
"They also indicated that because of this direction, it does not mean that Ghostface will not be involved at a later date."
Torbert added: "We believe Scream is Ghostface and Ghostface is Scream. However, while Ghostface is owned by Fun World, the Scream motion picture franchise is owned by The Weinstein Company, and it is their option to film a movie or TV show without Ghostface.
"Who knows what will happen in the future regarding the series and Ghostface. Never say never."

The pilot of the television series will begin with a YouTube video going viral, which soon sparks a string of murders in a quiet town with a troubled past.
Wes Craven, who helmed all four Scream films, is also in the director's chair for the spinoff, which has been penned by Harper's Island writer Jill Blotevogel.
Willa Fitzgerald, Bex Taylor-Klaus, John Karna and Carlson Young have been cast in the project.
