MTV's 'Scream' Season 2 Spoilers: Are Willa Fitzgerald/Emma, Bella Thorne/Nina In New Orleans?

MTV continues to make changes to Season 2 of their horror/comedy drama, Scream. Based on the Scream movies by Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson, are Emma Duval (Willa Fitzgerald), Bella Thorne (Nina Patterson), and Piper Shaw (Amelia Rose Blaire) heading to New Orleans?

As we previously mentioned, the MTV drama kicked off after a cyber-bullying incident resulted in a brutal murder. The shocking violence stirs up memories of a killing spree from the past. A group of new teens, led by Emma Duval (Fitzgerald), find themselves being stalked by a masked killer who's out for blood. The Lakewood serial killer, aka Ghostface, actually turned out to be Piper Shaw (Blaire).

We also mentioned, the freshmen drama's showrunners will be stepping down from their roles on the teen slasher show. Former showrunners Jill Blotevogal and Jaime Paglia will not be returning to their posts when production for the sophomore season is about to begin. Blotevogal will remain on the series as a consultant, but Paglia is leaving the series entirely. Michael Gans and Richard Register will take over for the show's sophomore season.

According to NOLA, the MTV thriller is heading back to Louisiana. In this second season, the location will move from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, which the city's film office confirms. Pre-production on Scream: Season 2 started Monday, with shooting scheduled to begin on February 16.

The site also reports that the Season 2 premiere is scheduled to air on April 20, which means postproduction would have be finished pretty quickly. Because the story is still early in development, we await confirmation from MTV whether or not this date is actually true.

No word yet on when Scream Season 2 will premiere on MTV. Though if it's a horror fixing you crave, the fifth season of Teen Wolf is back on the air.

Readers, are you excited for the return of Scream?
