Scream Queens: What is all the yelling about?

The satirical slasher horror series, co-created by Ryan Murphy, the man behind Glee and American Horror Story, is set in a university where a killer is murdering sorority girls.

There is already a huge amount of hype ahead of the launch, and understandably so. Glee and American Horror Story have been huge hits with viewers, critics and awards judges.

Not only that but Ryan is teaming up with Glee star Lea, American Horror Story’s Emma and original Scream Queen Jamie, star of Halloween.

The first season focuses on the Kappa sorority, at Wallace University, where events spark the resurfacing of a 20-year old murder mystery, and the Red Devil threatens to strike again.

The show airs on Fox in the US and does not yet have a UK broadcaster, but here is a quick guide to who’s who in Scream Queens.

Diva Chanel is president of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority and definitely makes enemies more easily than friends.
