MTV — not a network we usually associated with telemystery shows — has ordered to series Eye Candy, based on a suspense thriller of the same title by R. L. Stine.
The series stars Victoria Justice as Lindy Sampson, a tech wizard who suspects that one of her online suitors may be a cyber-stalker. (See more of the book's synopsis, below.) When things take a deadly turn, she teams up with the city's cyber-crime unit to catch a serial killer.
Viewers won't get to see the pilot that was produced, and upon which the cable network ordered the series; that will be largely recast (though Justice remains) and reshot.

Eye Candy by R. L. Stine
A Suspense Thriller
Publisher: Ballantine Books
She's got killer looks — and a deadly admirer.
Lindy Sampson is a twenty-three-year-old New Yorker with a problem: She's too beautiful. Guys are intimidated by her. Her roommate suggests Internet dating and writes a Personal ad for Lindy, calling her "Eye Candy". The responses pour in. Suddenly, Lindy is dating four guys at once — and having the time of her life. Until she gets a terrifying note that warns: "Don't say no, Lindy. Keep going out with me. I'll mess you up if you ever say no."
Which one of her admirers is a deadly freak? Lindy is now forced to say yes to everything the four men ask of her — dates, invitations to spend the night, anything. From the East Village to the Hamptons, panic and paranoia shadow her every move. Lindy suspects everyone, even the one person she thought she could trust. But Lindy Sampson doesn't know the half of it — and what she doesn't know could kill her.
