There is still time for Fox’s new horror-comedy anthology series “Scream Queens” to make its debut. But Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan created show has already become the most talked about new show on social media. The latest poster of the show has added to the excitement.

The Hollywood Reporter has published the “hair raising” new poster, featuring Emma Roberts, Keke Palmar and Skyler Samuels, with the tag line “pretty evil.” A closer look at the poster reveals that it also features the hidden mask of the red devil whose real identity will be revealed in the final episode of the first season. The three girls are screaming in the poster.

“Scream Queens,” which is scheduled to premiere this fall, is set on a fictional college campus that gets rocked by a series of murders. Roberts is playing the snobbish, ruthless head of a sorority girl gang, Chanel Oberlin. Skyler will be introduced as the new girl Grace who wishes to join the Kappa sorority. Grace’s friend is the high IQ Zayday, who is played by Palmar.

Speaking about the basic plot of his new show, Murphy told Entertainment Weekly that “Scream Queens” opens in a “flashback to 1995 at the sorority where something horrible happens. It’s a mystery that goes unsolved.” In the present time, 20 years later, on the anniversary of the crime, which the teaser has revealed is the murder of a sorority girl in a bathtub inside the Kappa House, something “horrible happened to a pledge” and “someone is out for vengeance.”

Meanwhile, Roberts has teased that she may make an appearance in the upcoming Season 5 of FX’s horror anthology series, subtitled “Hotel.” The actress has appeared in two seasons of "American Horror Story." She told E! News, “to go from “American Horror Story” to this, and then hopefully back to 'AHS' at the end of the year, is a dream come true.” When she was asked to confirm about her appearance on the upcoming season, the actress said, “I think so, at the end. I'm hoping," but she was quick to add that she does not know and Ryan (Murphy, co-creator of AHS as well) can answer that. “American Horror Story” Season 5 is set to begin filming in June and it is expected to premiere sometime in October.
