Fox’s ‘Scream Queens’ Renewed For A Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Finally. I was getting just a little bit worried that we wouldn’t see Scream Queens continue.

Fox has just revealed that it has renewed the hilarious (and sometimes terrifying) series for a second season.

This time around, the series will be strictly off-campus, and will instead focus on a hospital “where some of the most fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation.”

Sounds good to me.

Fox has not revealed at this time which season one performers will be returning, but as Deadline notes, most of the core stars are thought to have multi-year contracts, so it’s likely we’ll be seeing Lea Michelle, Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, and many others in completely different roles later this year.

In any case, I was a huge fan of the series’ campy-as-hell first season, and I can’t wait to see where Murphy and crew take a hospital setting (which I’m actually surprised we haven’t really seen in Murphy’s other horror series, American Horror Story).

What do you think of the renewal? Were you a fan of the first season? Sound out below!

Watch Two New Promos For ‘Scream Queens’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Well this looks completely ridiculous, and totally awesome.

Fox has just debuted two new promos for Ryan Murphy’s highly anticipated Glee and American Horror Story follow up, Scream Queens.

“Wallace University is rocked by a string of murders. Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by its Queen Bitch, Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts). But when anti-Kappa Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school’s silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time. Part black comedy, part slasher flick, ‘Scream Queens’ is a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder…or could easily be the next blood-soaked casualty.”

The show is set to premiere on September 22nd, and with an all-star cast including Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis, this one is sure to do well ratings wise. As a fan of both Glee and American Horror Story, I can’t wait to see what sort of messed up world Murphy has come up with this time around.

Take a look at the promos below, and let us know what you hope to see in the series!

Jeremy Jordan Joins CBS’ ‘Supergirl’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The cast of CBS’ Supergirl has grown yet again.

Following the reveal of Dean Cain and Helen Slater’s casting earlier this week, TheWrap reports that The Last Five Years star Jeremy Jordan has joined the project as “Winslow “Winn” Schott, a tech genius and superstar IT whiz who works alongside Kara (“Glee’s” Melissa Benoist) at Cat Grant’s (Calista Flockhart) company, CatCo.”

He’s set for a guest role in the series’ pilot, though there is potential for his character to recur. In the DC Comics, of course, Winslow Schott is also a villain known as Toyman.

The series itself will focus on Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El, who also escaped Krypton before it exploded. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.

As earlier reported, Glee‘s Melissa Benoist will star in the series, and Calista Flockhart will play Cat.

Are you happy with Supergirl‘s casting so far? Are you looking forward to the series, or is the small screen getting as superhero-cluttered as the silver screen is? Sound out below!

Calista Flockhart Joins CBS’ ‘Supergirl’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The project won a huge series commitment all the way back in September, and just a few weeks back we learned who would play the series’ titular character. Today, the cast of CBS’ Supergirl added a second member.

It’s Ally McBeal herself, Calista Flockhart. She’ll play Cat Grant, “the self-made media magnate and founder of CatCo. Cat started her career as a reporter and has built her company into a global powerhouse.”

The series itself will focus on Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El, who also escaped Krypton before it exploded. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.

The series comes from Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler, who previously teamed up for ABC’s short-lived (and fantastic) No Ordinary Family.

Are you down for the casting? Is there anyone else you’d rather have seen in the role? How about Melissa Benoist? Sound out below!
