1st stars signed for the Ryan Murphy horror-comedy 'Scream Queens' on Fox
The first of what will presumably be
many notable horror stars have signed up for Ryan Murphy's upcoming
comedy-horror series "Scream Queens." Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma
Roberts have joined the cast in leading roles.
The series, which is expected to
debut its 15-episode first season on Fox in fall 2015, will be set on a college
campus where a series of murders is disrupting the normally tranquil life.
Murphy and his fellow
"Glee" and "American Horror Story" executive producers Brad
Falchuck, Ian Brennan and Dante Di Loreto are behind the series.
Curtis is one of the most famous
scream queens in cinema history thanks to her role in the horror classic
"Halloween," as well as roles in "The Fog," "Prom
Night" and "Terror Train." Though she left horror behind for
several years, she returned to the "Halloween" franchise in 1998 for
"Halloween H20: 20 Years Later" and "Halloween:
Resurrection."
Roberts starred in "Scream
4" in 2011 and appeared in the third and fourth seasons of "American
Horror Story."
"Scream Queens" may be
competing against one of its inspirations next year. MTV's adaptation of the
"Scream" franchise is also expected to debut sometime in 2015.
