    Jay Beattie and Dan Dworkin -- the men behind “Revenge" and "Criminal Minds" -- have joined the TV horror project. Susanne Daniels, MTV's president of programming, announced the news at the Television Critics Association Summer 2013 press tour on Friday.

    MTV revealed its plans to "reinvent" the hugely successful horror film franchise from Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven at the network's 2013 Upfront Presentation in April. The potential "Scream" series is being developed with production company Dimension Films, and although Williamson isn't actively involved in the pilot (he's already behind Fox's successful serial killer drama "The Following"), Craven is reportedly in talks to direct the pilot.
