Fox has announced a straight-to-series order for _Scream Queens_, a new anthology series with hour-long episodes from Murphy and his _Glee_ and _American Horror Story_ co-creator Brad Falchuk, according to _The Hollywood Reporter._ The 15-episode series will premiere next fall and focus on a college campus that becomes the site of several murders. “We hope to create a whole new genre — comedy-horror — and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads,” Murphy said in a statement. “We’ve already begun a nationwide search for those women, as well as 10 other supporting roles.” It’s the second new anthology series from Murphy coming to television soon. Earlier this month, FX, the home of _American Horror Story_, announced [_American Crime Story_](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/10/07/ryan-murphy-to-tackle-o-j-simpson-case-with-american-crime-story/ "undefined"), which will devote its first 10-episode season to the O.J. Simpson trial. \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/ryan-murphy-comedy-horror-anthology-742066 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3525167/ryan-murphy-scream-queens-fox/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3525167/ryan-murphy-scream-queens-fox/"},"headline":"New Ryan Murphy Anthology Scream Queens Coming to Fox","datePublished":"2014-10-20T18:13:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:53:51.640Z","description":"“We hope to create a whole new genre — comedy-horror\"","url":"https://time.com/3525167/ryan-murphy-scream-queens-fox/","keywords":["Television","Glee","FX","American Horror Story"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltecaf5b3942666567/698761cccd68480872097353/ryan-murphy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltecaf5b3942666567/698761cccd68480872097353/ryan-murphy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Ryan Murphy","caption":"Ryan Murphy","creditText":"Tonya Wise—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3525167/ryan-murphy-scream-queens-fox/","name":"New Ryan Murphy Anthology Scream Queens Coming to Fox"}}]}] ```
