Scream Queens is an American horror-comedy anthology television series created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, in which the first season is centered on a series of murders involving the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority.
Season 2 delves deep into the fascinating and bizarre medical cases under observation at the hospital, while using the building's sordid history as the springboard for the series' overarching mystery.
Season 1
The girls of Kappa House are dying for new pledges...
Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts, American Horror Story: Freak Show).
But when anti-Kappa Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis, Halloween) 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 across the campus.
An over-the-top, biting satire, Scream Queens is part black comedy, part slasher flick and a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder... or could easily be the next victim.
Scream Queens has an all-star cast including Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele (Glee), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), Nasim Pedrad (Mulaney), Oliver Hudson (Nashville), Skyler Samuels (American Horror Story: Coven), Keke Palmer (Masters of Sex), newcomer Billie Lourd, Diego Boneta (Rock of Ages), Glen Powell (The Expendables 3), Lucien Laviscount (Episodes), Niecy Nash (Getting On), pop superstar and actor Nick Jonas (Kingdom) and Grammy Award nominee and actress Ariana Grande.
Season 2
Years after the murderous events at Kappa House, Dean Munsch purchases an abandoned hospital under the guise of fixing the healthcare system in America.
After recruiting surgeons, Dr. Brock Holt and Dr. Cassidy Cascade, as well as medical student Zayday Williams, the Dean shocks everyone when she enlists the services of the disgraced Chanels to join the ranks at the teaching hospital.
Meanwhile, secrets from the hospital's past begin to reveal themselves and a new killer surfaces.
Returning for Season Two are cast members Emma Roberts as Chanel Oberlin, Jamie Lee Curtis (who earned a 2016 Golden Globe Award nomination in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical) as Cathy Munsch, Lea Michele as Hester Ulrich, Abigail Breslin as Chanel #5, Keke Palmer as Zayday Williams, Billie Lourd as Chanel #3, Glen Powell as Chad Radwell and Niecy Nash as Denise Hemphill.
