The new horror-comedy show coming to Fox, "Scream Queens," is destined to give you that long-awaited fix of '80s and '90s style of fun scares, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The series, which was created by Ryan Murphy ("American Horror Story"), Brad Fulchuk ("American Horror Story") and Ian Brennan ("Glee"), is basically about sorority life on a college campus. But 20 years before, something went terribly wrong at the campus sorority. Revenge is set into motion 20 years later (now) on the anniversary of the crime and now, modern sorority sisters are paying the murderous price.

Emma Roberts plays the leading role in the series. She stars Chanel, the President of Kappa Sorority. Jamie Lee Curtis also plays a leading role in the series as the school's dean.

Since she wants to institute change in the campus sororities and stop the racist status quo, she seems likely to be Chanel's foe. Top that off with her husband recently leaving her for a 25-year-old woman, and you have a "woman scorned" recipe ripe for justice.

That is where Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin, Ariana Grande and Billie Lourd come in, as pledge sisters. Although Palmer's character, Zayday, is a genius, she is talked into joining. Breslin's character plays the "right-hand man" role to Chanel along with Grande and Lourd.

Nick Jonas also has a recurring role in the series as a member of a golfing fraternity called the Dollar Scholars. This fraternity has the distinction of being the entitled white rich kids who everyone on campus seems to like. Glen Powell also plays a member in the same sorority and is Chanel's boyfriend.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, show creator Ryan Murphy said that there will be a basic structure to the series that follows a very obvious premise.

"One thing we've said to the cast is that every episode someone is going," Murphy told EW.

"It's always somebody you least suspect or expect," he added. "The killer is on a reign of terror. It's very much like 'Ten Little Indians.' There's a real tune-in factor because it's like, 'Who's going to be picked off this week?' And also 'who is the killer?' Every episode, you get clues as to who the killer is going to be and then all of these clues accumulate."
