'Scream Queens': Only Four Will Survive & Return for Season 2
Quote:
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," Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter following a recent press screening. "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."
Murphy, who directed the first hour of Scream Queens' two-hour premiere (Falchuk helmed part two), said the main difference is that the four surviving characters will continue to play the same character when and if a likely second season is ordered. That's a major change from American Horror Story, where so far only Lily Rabe has been the only actor to reprise the same character for multiple seasons of the series.
"It's sort of like a twist on American Horror Story: every season is a new season, a new setting, a new establishment — the difference being you will know some of the characters who will live," said Murphy, who is also prepping FX anthology American Crime Story, whose first season explores the O.J. Simpson trial. "That's the fun to me; the reason I love writing it and being a part of it is it's like an Agatha Christie mystery where every week it's who's going to live and who's going to die. We do kill off a huge amount of people every week. It's a whodunit at its core."
Murphy also spills on the villain of the season, "The Red Devil".

"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," says Murphy, who notes that the entire series drops Easter Eggs to horror classics including Heathers, Halloween and Friday the 13th. "But we tell you who it is so you have to figure it out."
I really can't see Ryan killing off Emma, Lea or Jamie Lee in the first season. Maybe in the premiere of the second season but not in the first season.
Jamie Lee will probably die, only cuz I feel like Ryan wants to introduce a new veteran Scream Queen every season. Season 2 might have SMG, Neve Campbell, or someone.
Plus, Jaimie most likely wouldn't sign on for more than one season. She doesn't act much anymore.
Early days, but it really looks like Ryan really knows what he's doing with this. I love the idea of bringing in a veteran scream queen each series.
One thing I don't understand is when he says the show will go onto a new horror genre each season. Does that mean season 2 might be a supernatural (Paranormal Activity etc) type season? Or does it just mean it's changing settings to like a funfair or some other horror film type setting?
