Fox’s Ryan Murphy comedy horror anthology has cast its first two leading ladies, says THR, writing that Scream 4 and “American Horror Story’s” Emma Roberts, pictured below, and horror icon Jamie Lee Curtis (pictured above; Halloween, Halloween II, The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night, Halloween: H20) will star in “Scream Queens”!
The 15-episode hourlong comedy will premiere in fall 2015, with season one revolving around a college campus that’s rocked by a series of murders. New settings and storylines will be featured in subsequent seasons of the anthology series.
Character details — as they are on Murphy and Falchuk’s “American Horror Story” — are being kept under wraps. Roberts is set to topline the comedy, with a second young actress set to co-star. A casting breakdown indicates the series will center on three young women, Curtis’ role and a father.
