THR reports that execs liked the script that was cobbled together, and ordered the pilot. (Thanks, THR…we guessed as much.) This version will once again be a high school drama that has horror and werewolf lore, and there will be a romantic angle as well. The latter being a given if the network is going to draw out a series.

Liz Gateley, MTV’s senior VP of series development, tries out her comedy act while talking up the series: “It has a fresh take and is very different from the original. It has more of an ‘American Werewolf in London’ feel to it. It’s a dramatic thriller with two best friends in the center who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques.”
