Fox premiered the show, “Scream Queens” on September 22, 2015. It was written by Ryan Murphy who
directed “Glee” and “American Horror Story.”

The first season of the show follows the sorority Kappa Kappa Tau, and their run from a serial killer who
dresses as the school mascot. It is set on the fictional college campus of Wallace University. The plot
surrounds the idea of toxic sorority culture and the lack of true sister-ship. Kappa Kappa Tau is run by
house president Chanel #1 (Chanel Oberlin) played by Emma Roberts, who has her ‘minions’ named
after her.

The Chanels are played by other well known actresses. Chanel #2 is played by Ariana Grande, and Chanel #3 is played by Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd. Throughout the two seasons of the show many more Chanels are recruited, going all the way to #11.

During the second season, the Chanels and former sister Zeyday are reconnected, all working as med
students at the fictional C.U.R.E. Institute which is run by their former dean at Wallace University, Kathy
Munsch. Once again, the group is being terrorized by another serial killer, the Green Meanie. The cast
once again has to find a way to stop the murderer who is picking off nurses and patients one-by-one.
This season features many other well known actors including, Taylor Laugtner and John Stamos.

The show is completely ridiculous and yet somehow, hilarious. It does a great job of overacting in a way
that adds to the humor. Many of the sorority members and frat members that are introduced in the
show have the type of self involved idiocy that wouldn’t work in other types of shows.

“Scream Queens” is a fun watch. There are so many twists and turns and viewers find it easy to fall in love with many of the characters, and it should give them a good laugh.
