Detailed Bias Analysis

Primary
The series primarily functions as a slasher horror narrative, exploring themes of cyberbullying, identity, and the consequences of past secrets through individual character arcs and survival, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The series features intentional and explicit diverse casting, particularly in its third season which centers on a predominantly Black main cast. While the characters are diverse, the narrative itself focuses on the slasher mystery and character dynamics rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
Scream: The TV Series features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including openly gay and bisexual individuals, across its seasons. Characters like Noah Foster, Jamal Elliott, and Manny are portrayed with complexity, dignity, and agency. Their relationships are normalized, and their identities are not the source of their struggles or deaths, which are typical of the slasher genre. The overall portrayal is affirming.
Scream: The TV Series does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a group of teenagers targeted by a serial killer, exploring themes of social media, past secrets, and identity within that context, without engaging with transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Scream: The TV Series introduces an entirely new cast of characters and a new storyline, rather than adapting specific legacy characters from the original film franchise with different genders. No established character from the source material was portrayed as a different gender.
The 2015 'Scream' TV series features an original cast of characters created for the show, rather than adapting or recasting established characters from the original film franchise. As such, no characters with a previously established race were portrayed by actors of a different race.
