From Singing to Shrieking: Lea Michele, Keke Palmer & More Will Star in Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens Series

We’re screaming (with joy?) at this news. Glee star and former Broadway baby Lea Michele will star in Scream Queens, the new comedy-horror anthology series from Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. According to Variety, Michele will be joined by Joe Manganiello and fellow Broadway alums Abigail Breslin and Keke Palmer, as well as the previously announced Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts.

The first season will center around a college campus during a string of murders. The 15-episode season will premiere this fall. Broadway alum and Grammy nominee Ariana Grande will guest-star on the team’s Glee follow-up project.

Michele made her Broadway debut at the age of eight in Les Miserables and last appeared on the Great White Way in 2006’s Spring Awakening. In addition to Glee, which will conclude this March, her screen credits include New Year’s Eve and Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return.

Manganiello has appeared on screen in Magic Mike, True Blood and the Spider-Man series. Breslin, who was nominated for an Oscar for Little Miss Sunshine, made her Broadway debut in 2010’s The Miracle Worker revival. Palmer recently appeared on the Great White Way for her first time in Cinderella; her screen credits include Akeelah and the Bee and her talk show Just Keke.
