Ryan Murphy is all about giving people a shot a proving their talent, which is why he launched the Half Foundation, which has the goal to have 50% of director slots on his show filled by women, people of color, or members of the LGBT community, according to THR.
To that end, it’s been announced that “Scream Queens” star Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, Prom Night) will direct the eighth episode of the show, per Deadline. This is the first time she will be directing an hour-long episode as her previous experience seems to only be an episode of 1992’s “Anything but Love”.
“Season Two of “Scream Queens” graduates from the college campus and into an all-new location, as a terrifyingly funny murder mystery will begin once again. This time, the show will be set in a hospital, where some of the most fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation.”
“Scream Queens” stars Emma Roberts, Abigail Breslin, Billie Lourd, Taylor Lautner, John Stamos, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
The show is executively produced by Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story”), Brad Falchuk (“Glee”), and Ian Brennan (“Glee”). Emma Roberts, Abigail Breslin, and Billie Lourd return and are joined by Taylor Lautner, Colton Haynes, and John Stamos.
“Scream Queens” returns September 20th at 9 pm ET.
