Plot, Characters Revealed for SCREAM QUEENS Season Two

Reporting yesterday from the 2016 PaleyFest, Variety revealed key information about the hit Jamie Lee Curtis-starring satirical slasher FOX TV series SCREAM QUEENS.

Speaking at a panel press conference Curtis confirmed that actors Billie Lourd, Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, Keke Palmer, Lea Michele and Niecy Nash will be part of the season two ensemble.

Season two will be set in a hospital, an homage of sorts to the first two HALLOWEEN films, the pictures that of course made Curtis a horror movie star.The hospital will be run by Curtis’ Dean Cathy Munsch character from season one. The college administrator from season one “has moved on to great success” after abolishing the college Greek system and traveled the world in search of a new mission.

According to Variety, the character sketches are as follows:

The Chanels (Roberts, Breslin, Lourd): Following up on the season finale, the Chanels have been committed to mental institution, where they’ll be studying under their former nemesis Dean Munsch.

Hester (Michele): While Falchuk didn’t detail Hester (a.k.a. Chanel #6’s) role in the operations of the hospital, he said, “In this hospital, there’s some funny business going as well.  There’s an aspect to this show that involves murder and a killer and in those ways Hester is going to be intimately involved.”

Zayday (Palmer): After graduating from Wallace University in two years, Zayday will be training to become a doctor under the supervision of Dean Munsch.

Dean Munsch (Curtis): After traveling the world in search of a new passion, Dean Munsch buys a hospital and will “run this hospital the way she sees fit.”

Denise (Nash): Denise is now a member of the FBI and will cross paths with the other characters when her expertise is needed to solve the worsening problems at the hospital.
