American Horror Story‘s Ryan Murphy is reuniting with his Glee creative partners to produce Scream Queens, a horror anthology series for Fox.
The series is created by Murphy, Falchuk and Ian Brennan and received a 15 episode straight to series order from the network. The first season is based around a college campus which is rocked by a series of murders.
“I knew I wanted to work with Brad and Ian again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing Scream Queens,” Murphy explained. “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 chairmen] Dana [Walden] and Gary [Newman] for their enthusiastic support.”
“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,” the chairmen added.
