'Scream Queens' Cast News, Update: Ariana Grande's Character Unlikely to Survive Past First Season
Fans are already excited for the premiere of Fox's upcoming horror-comedy anthology TV series "Scream Queens" which will debut this September. One of the many exciting aspects of the Ryan Murphy-created drama is the inclusion of 25 cast members.
Ariana Grande, whose character is a member of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority, will be joining an all-star cast featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michelle, Oliver Hudson, and many others. However, there's a huge possibility that the pop icon's alter ego may not stay long before the show returns for its second season.
In fact, several reports indicated that there would only be about four characters that will make it to the end.

Murphy said, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly that contrary to what has been done for his other well-known anthology series, "The American Horror Story," there will be more dynamic changes when it comes to the roster of characters in "Scream Queens."
"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," the showrunner told Billboard. "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."
"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," Murphy went on to explain.
"Scream Queens," picked up straight to series at Fox, is set to premiere Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. After which, it will move to its regular airing timeslot the following week at 9 p.m.
