Amid rumors that the upcoming Fox thriller series "Scream Queens" is the same dish as "American Horror Story" only served with a different name, creator Ryan Murphy took to the Television Critic's Association panel to clarify that the two shows are actually very different.

Murphy, who is known for bringing the horror anthology "American Horror Story" to the television screen, said that while the two are both thriller in nature, essentially, their plot and taste as a series are different.

"I think that 'Scream Queens' has a much more satirical, cartoonish quality to the attacks than American Horror Story does," said Murphy, as quoted by IGN. "Which is much more sexualized and darker at times."

The new series set for fall will feature Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin and Keke Palmer.

"Scream Queens" talks about a 20-year-old murder mystery in the backdrop of a college sorority house, its members and the general life and stereotype of campus life.

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals that while the series is a thriller-comedy show, it still remains a "social satire."

The actress added that the new show will explore the "angry and frustrated" side of human beings who are doing their best to keep it all together for the sake of other's opinion.

"What's so fun about this show is that everything you thing about every single one of these characters, you don't know s**t about anything. Because everyone here is wearing a mask. And this show peels off those masks each week, and it's brilliant," said Curtis.

Roberts, who plays the role of Kappa Kappa Tau sorority president Chanel Oberlin, added that the script for the series can be "insane and crazy" that she had to apologize to her fellow actresses after filming.

Murphy admitted that the character of Roberts, the queen bee in the group, was inspired by a real life story of a former Delta Gamma sorority president and her email that went viral.

"We were interested in mirroring that idea," the series creator told The Wrap and other members of the media present at the panel. "Unlike that girl, who apologized and resigned, we wanted to bring our queen bee character to some sort of awareness about her behavior."

Meanwhile, Michele, known for her portrayal of Rachel Berry in the musical-comedy TV show, "Glee," returns to the television as neck brace-wearing sorority pledge Hester.

The actress acknowledged that part of the challenge in doing this new project is to "balance the horror and comedy" part of the show, reported Pop Sugar.

"Scream Queens" will premier on September 22, with a two-hour first episode on Fox.
