[TV] “Scream Queens” To Be Like a Comedic “Coven”
Major news broke last week when it was announced that both Emma Robert and Jamie Lee Curtis would topline FOX’s “Scream Queens” anthology series.
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.
Vulture caught up with Roberts, who is reteaming with “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy on “Scream Queens,” who reveals tonally it’s similar to “Coven.”
“The show itself is more comedy,” Roberts told the site. “I literally was crying laughing when Ryan [Murphy] was telling me about it, and telling me some jokes on it.”
More details will be worked out in the next month, but Roberts suspects the vibe will be quite “Coven”-like: “It going to be a lot of girls, and it reminds me of ‘Coven’ in a way that it is just like having all that female energy on set.”
More than anything, Roberts is excited to continue working with Murphy. “I pretty much will follow Ryan Murphy anywhere, because I just love the worlds he creates. When he told me about this, I was like, ‘When do we start?'”
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.
