SCREAM QUEENS: Fox Orders Comedy-Horror Anthology Series From GLEE Creators
October 20, 2014 by Marisa Roffman
Fox has issued a straight-to-series order for SCREAM QUEENS, a comedy-horror anthology, the network announced.
The series — which comes from GLEE creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan — will kick off in Fall 2015, with an installment that centers around “a college campus which is rocked by a series of murders.” Fox has ordered 15 episodes for the series’ first season, which is set to start production next spring. (If the show continues on for a second season, it will have new settings/storylines — like Murphy’s AMERICAN HORROR STORY — with every year.)
“I knew I wanted to work with Brad and Ian again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing SCREAM QUEENS,” said Murphy in a statement. “We hope to create a whole new genre – comedy-horror – and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads. We’ve already begun a nationwide search for those women, as well as 10 other supporting roles, and we’re very grateful to [Fox Television Group Chairmen and CEOs] Dana [Walden] and Gary [Newman] for their enthusiastic support.”
“One of our top priorities at the network has been to get Ryan Murphy to create a new series for FOX,” said Walden and Newman. “We loved every element of the pitch for this show — the genre-bending concept, which blends true horror with big comedic moments; the diverse and unforgettable characters and reuniting the phenomenal creative team that delivered GLEE. SCREAM QUEENS will go straight to series. It’s a huge commitment and an expression of our faith in Ryan. We are ecstatic to have him, along with Brad, Ian and Dante as our partners on this exciting ride.”
