The spookiest sorority ever! First look at Lea Michele and Ariana Grande in Scream Queens as they face a masked killer with Emma Roberts
After a series of teasers that gave very little away, Scream Queens has released its first full promo – and with it a first look at Lea Michele and Ariana Grande’s characters.
Part horror, part comedy, season one of the new show will follow a college plagued by a series of murders.
Lea and Ariana play members of the Kappa sorority, whose president is the ruthless Chanel Oberlin, portrayed by Emma Roberts.

Spooky: The members of Kappa sorority are faced with a serial killer known as the Red Devil
While Ariana can be seen as one of Emma’s on-screen sidekicks – hilariously named Chanel #2 – Lea stars as one of her rivals.
The Glee alum’s character Hester ‘Neckbrace’ has scoliosis, and obviously is seen in a neck brace in the new clip, titled Pledges, as well as just released promotional photos.
At one point the 28-year-old wears just her underwear.

There's plenty of screaming: Judging by the 30-second promo, the show lives up to its title

Ariana looks very much as we are accustomed to seeing her on stage, with her trademark ponytail and a skimpy outfit.
The promo shows Emma ruling the Kappa roost, sauntering around the sorority house in a series of preppy outfits, many of which feature fur and pearls.
‘Good evening idiots,’ she drawls while being followed around by her many groupies.

Yikes: One of the characters will be killed off in each episode, creator Ryan Murphy has revealed
We then see her in the bathroom, glancing in the shower before looking at her reflection in the mirror with the mysterious masked killer – known only as the Red Devil – standing right behind her.
Emma promptly screams her lungs out, something which we get to see most of the characters doing throughout the 30 second clip.
She later rattles off a quote from Dorothy Parker, quipping: ‘What fresh hell is this?’ as Abigail Breslin, aka Chanel #5, stands beside her.

The 24-year-old takes her concerns to Dean Cathy Musch (Jamie Lee Curtis), who tells her that the ‘worst case scenario’ would be ‘that there is an actual serial killer on the loose’.
Clearly, that scenario is quickly realised, as creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that one person will be killed off each week.
The series also stars Nick Jonas, Keke Palmer, Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd and SNL’s Nasim Pedrad.

Joe Manganiello was originally cast as Wes, but after he had to pull out due to Magic Mike XXL commitments, Oliver Hudson took the role in his place.
Ryan, the man behind Glee and American Horror Story, told Entertainment Weekly last month: ‘It’s very much like Ten Little Indians. There’s a real tune-in factor because it’s like, Who’s going to be picked off this week? And also who is the killer?
‘Every episode, you get clues as to who the killer is going to be and then all of these clues accumulate. Whoever survives—and there will be people who will survive—they will go on next season to a new location and a new terror.

Here we go: Kappa Kappa Tau is described as a 'dangerous' place - and it isn't hard to see why
‘Unlike Horror Story, which completely reboots, this has some of the continuity in that some of the characters and some of the relationships continue into a new world.’
Ryan, who promises there will be ‘countless love triangles and lots of sex’ in the series, and added to Entertainment Weekly that the killer will not be revealed until the final of the 15 episodes.
Scream Queens premieres on Fox in September.
