Speaking of Black women in Hollywood who stay with a job, KeKe Palmer and Niecy Nash will be starring in FOX’s “Scream Queens.”
The killer-comedy series, which premieres this fall, follows the girls of Wallace University’s Kappa Kappa Tau sorority as they discover that they’re being hunted by a vicious killer. A brief synopsis reads:
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. But when anti-Kappa Dean Munsch 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.
“Scream Queens” is the perfect love child of “American Horror Story” and “GLEE” from executive producers Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. In addition to Palmer and Nash, the star-studded line-up for the series includes Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michelle and a host of others.
Palmer has been cast in the role Zayday, a college student and new member of Kappa Kappa Tau. Nash will be playing the role of Denise, a campus police officer assigned to the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority house after a gruesome attack occurs on campus grounds.
