Rejoice, TV Horror Fans: 'Scream' & 'Van Helsing' Both Got Renewed

Two cable series based on hyper-well-known horror franchises have both been renewed. Syfy's Van Helsing, only four episodes into its first season, will be back in 2017; MTV's Scream will be, as well. Scream Season 3 will only run six episodes; Van Helsing Season 2 will go a full 13.

Van Helsing's plot involves subterranean vampires creeping above ground after a volcano blows, rising, as Deadline writes, "up through a dark, ash-filled sky to overtake America." Their greatest foe is Vanessa Van Helsing, whose ancestor fought the god Dracula. Fun twist on the lore: she's immune to getting vamped, and she can turn the undead back into humans.
