Scream Queens is a horror-comedy anthology series created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, which aired from 2015 to 2016. Set in a college campus notorious for a series of murders, the show follows a group of sorority sisters who find themselves targeted by a mysterious killer wearing a devil mask. The series blends slasher elements with dark humor, satirizing the tropes of horror films and the antics of privileged college students. The main cast features an ensemble of notable actors, including Emma Roberts as the self-absorbed Kappa Kappa Tau president Chanel Oberlin, and includes performances from Lea Michele, Billie Lourd, and Jamie Lee Curtis as the stern Dean Munsch. Each season presents its own storyline, combining outrageous fashion, campy dialogue, and over-the-top scenarios, while exploring themes of friendship, rivalry, and social status. Scream Queens is known for its unique visual style, catchy musical numbers, and a mix of suspense and comedy, making it a distinct entry in the horror genre.
