Theater Mania reports the show is about a series of murders taking place on a college campus. It is unclear what characters each A-lister in the cast will play, however CBS claims that Grande will have a recurring role, while Michele is set to play the star.
Other A-listers joining the cast include "True Blood's" Joe Manganiello and actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
The show is set to begin filming in the spring and will premiere sometime this fall on FOX, Theater Mania reports.
"We trust [Murphy] implicitly and he has proven over the years that he has great instincts for building characters that people care about and fall in love with," Fox's Gary Newman told E! News. "He brings an outrageousness to what he does that is his unique signature and 'Scream Queens,' he's literally the perfect person to do this. It's going to be an amazing, suspenseful, fun run."
The men and women of "Scream Queens" also appear to be sharing the same excitement for the upcoming show.
