Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Keke Palmer, Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Roger Bart, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. These are just some of the big names that you will on this season of Fox’s new horror comedy Scream Queens. The show is brought to you by the team behind American Horror Story and Glee. Now, Ryan Murphy is opening up about the series cast ahead of this week’s premiere episode.
Recently, Scream Queens king Ryan Murphy opened up to E! Online about just how he managed to get so many big name stars to appear in the new series:
“The thing about my stuff is that I'm always shocked when anybody says yes to anything. But in my case, what happened was, I reached out to Ariana and Nick and Jamie Lee [Curtis] and on and on. It always comes from a place of fandom. Always. So I just call and say, ‘Hey, will you meet with me?' And the case with Jamie Lee, it was a very charged meeting because Brad [Falchuk] and I loved her so much and also knew that if she said no there was no show. I had to bring my A-game. And then here she walks through the door all dressed up looking like a million bucks, carrying John Carpenter photo albums for Brad and I; so we're like, ‘OK, maybe she's in.' She knew about the other work, and when I pitched her, she was just so thrilled and honored to sort of be a part of something.”
The official plot synopsis for the Season 1 premiere episodes of Scream Queens, titled “Pilot; Hell Week,” reads:
“A comedy-horror anthology series begins with a tale of a college campus experiencing a rash of murders.”
Be sure to tune into the 2-hour premire of Scream Queens, Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern on Fox.
