What do Emma Roberts, Abigail Breslin, Ariana Grande, and Nick Jonas have in common? Besides being kid celebrities, it turns out that they will all star in a new show, "Scream Queens." This new killer comedy-horror series came from the minds that brought us "Glee" and "American Horror Story," Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuck and Ian Brennan.
The newly released full trailer shows a Mean Girls-type sorority led by Emma Roberts, taking on every one of the ladies who wants to join the exclusive group. She was heard saying to the group of misfits, "You're about to get hazed harder than a suburban banquet hall during bat mitzvah season."
According to creator Ryan Murphy in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, "'Scream Queens" is "'Heathers' meets 'Friday the 13th'" with a lot of hazing - until someone's head gets mowed off, that things take a turn for the horrors in store.
The new trailer showed Emma Roberts as Chanel Oberlin, who is the president of the Kappa house, in a new camp-fest series from Murphy, with inspiration from "American Horror Story" in a show that involves a series of murders in the middle of Rush Week, according to The Verge.
Coming Soon website wrapped up the series summary, which read:
"Wallace University is rocked by a string of murders. Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by its Queen Bitch, Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts, "American Horror Story: Freak Show," Scream 4). But when anti-Kappa Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis,Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school's silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time. Part black comedy, part slasher flick, "Scream Queens" is a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder... or could easily be the next blood-soaked casualty."
Roberts, Breslin, Grande and Jonas will be joined by a slew of talents including Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Nasim Pedrad, Oliver Hudson, Skyler Samuels, Keke Palmer, Diego Bonita, Glen Powell, Lucien Laviscount, Niecy Nash and newcomer Billie Lourd.
