In an interview with Entertainment Weekly (EW), series creator Jill Blotevogel teased that “Scream: The TV Series” Season 2 will definitely focus on the accomplice of Ghostface killer Piper Shaw (Amelia Rose Blaire) with a timeline within one year or less after the events that happened in the first season and the surviving characters are still in Lakewood High.

The finale episode suggested that Audrey Jensen is the other Ghostface killer. However, the other characters of the TV series still have no idea that Audrey has been involved in Piper’s revenge plan.

“Yes, we're definitely pointing you down a path, but the characters don't know that. It's such a fine line to balance. I'm just going to throw it out there: If you care about Audrey, you'll care about what happens in season 2 and her mystery will definitely be the jumping off point,” Blotevogel told EW.
