Only Four People Will Survive 'Scream Queens' Season One

It sounds like there’ll be quite a lot of victims by the end of Scream Queens‘ first season.

According to THR, only four characters will survive the upcoming Fox anthology series and move on to season two.

“It’s similar to American Horror Story in that it’s anthological but different in that at the end of the first season there will only be four characters out of 25 left,” creator Ryan Murphy told the outlet. “And those four in season two will go on to a new horror genre – like a sorority is a horror genre to me, it’s a place where there were horror movies in the ’80s like Sorority Row – and they will go on. That’s the format of the show.”

As for the mysterious murderer, Ryan said, “In the first episode, you’ve met the killer and there’s a big clue dropped in the first episode as to who the killer is, so you’d have to go back and really watch it. But we tell you who it is so you have to figure it out.”

The show boasts a star-studded cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Oliver Hudson, Diego Boneta, and more.
