Casting

"It's Mean Girls meets Friday the 13th. I think it's laugh-out-loud funny, it's edge-of-your-seat scary and everyone is wearing Chanel. What other reasons do you need [to watch]?"

—Lead actress Emma Roberts on the series[13]

In December 2014, it was reported that Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis would be featured as series regulars.[14] In January 2015, Lea Michele, Joe Manganiello, Keke Palmer, and Abigail Breslin joined the series' main cast, as well as actress/singer Ariana Grande in a recurring capacity.[15] Later that month, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Nick Jonas would recur throughout the first season.[16] In February 2015, newcomer Billie Lourd and Skyler Samuels joined the series' main cast.[17][18] Later in the month, Niecy Nash joined the recurring cast as Denise, a kick-butt security guard;[19] and British actor Lucien Laviscount, Diego Boneta and Glen Powell were confirmed as regulars.[20][21] In March, Nasim Pedrad was cast as a series regular.[22] On March 13, 2015, previously cast Manganiello was forced to depart the series, due to publicity obligations for his film Magic Mike XXL. Oliver Hudson was hired as his replacement.[23] On June 24, 2015, it was announced that Charisma Carpenter and Roger Bart would portray Chanel #2's (Ariana Grande) parents.[24] In August 2015, Philip Casnoff was cast as Cathy's (Curtis) husband.[25][26] In September 2015, Murphy announced, through his Twitter feed, that Patrick Schwarzenegger had joined the cast.[27] He will portray Chad's (Powell) younger brother, Thad.[28] Chad's older brother, Brad, will be played by Chad Michael Murray;[29] while Alan Thicke and Julia Duffy have been cast as Mr. and Mrs. Radwell.[30]

Reception

Critical response

The first season of Scream Queens received mixed to positive reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season a 68% of approval with an average rating of 6.2/10, based on 68 reviews, with the critical consensus reading, "Too tasteless for mainstream viewers and too silly for horror enthusiasts, Scream Queens fails to satisfy."[31] On Metacritic, the season was given a score of 59 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[32]

IGN reviewer Terri Schwartz gave a very positive review of the two-hour premiere, giving it a 9.7 out of 10 and saying "Ryan Murphy has worked his TV magic again with a killer start to Scream Queens. From the acting to the costuming to the writing, everything about this concept and execution works. Scream Queens is as funny and self-aware as it needs to be to not bore audiences, but also offers up enough mystery and intrigue to keep even the biggest skeptic entertained."[33] The Telegraph also gave a positive review, awarding the show four stars out of five. They commented that the show pummels "the viewer into submission with sheer, rictus-grinning relentlessness" and praised it for being "shiny, gory and whip-smart."[34]

Robert Rorke of The New York Post panned the series, later putting it on his Worst TV of 2015 list and criticized Roberts' performance, saying that she "can't act".[35]
