It looks like Ryan Murphy has hit it out of the park with his new show SCREAM QUEENS, set to debut on Sep. 22. Entertainment insiders are calling it the best new TV show in years:
Kristin Dos Santos: Hands down my favorite new show of the season. Emma Roberts will make you feel like you can't breathe with her perfection because she SLAYS in this role—it is the role she was born to do, playing the worst, most bitchtastic sorority girl of all time, Chanel. And the entire cast, with Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Niecy Nash, Keke Palmer and some breakout stars you soon will know well, are such ridiculous fun to watch, you'll find yourself craving more when each episode ends. Bitchy, insane, and full of jaw-dropping death scenes you will laugh-scream at (that's now a thing), Scream Queens is the best new show I've seen in a very long time.
Tierney Bricker: Listen up, idiot hookers (Can I call you that?), SQ is, hands down, the best new show of the fall. It's fun. It's scary. It's glamorous. And it's freakin' HILARIOUS. And Emma Roberts? Pretty sure she was born to SLAY Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's dialogue. The rest of the cast is aces too. I'd say set your DVRs now but this is a cancel-your-plans-stay-home-and-watch-live kind of show. And I guarantee it's more 96 percent more entertaining than the plans you would've had anyway.
Chris Harnick: Niecy Nash, I love you. She steals the show. I have been a fan of hers since Reno 911! and Clean House, now thanks to Getting On and Scream Queens I am even more a member of Niecy's fan club. And Jamie Lee Curtis is just flawless. There's no other word for her. I am into it.
Jean Bentley: Hands down my favorite pilot of the fall. It's fun, gorgeous, campy in all the right ways, and I cannot believe some of the dialogue they got away with! Plus, Lea Michele in a neck brace is basically my new religion.
Lauren Piester: I was just going to leave you with "yes, absolutely, x1000" because that's really all you need, but I also feel like I need to say more, because it's just so fun. The acting's great, the jokes are perfectly crafted, and the screams are truly artful. I'm in love.
