Creative mastermind Ryan Murphy, who is working on a highly anticipated new show called 'Scream Queens', has revealed that while the programme will have a lot of characters only a handful of them will make it through the season alive. 

'Scream Queens' is set to star singers Nick Jonas and Ariana Grande, and Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter that many of the characters will meet grizzly and untimely ends although he didn't name names:

"It's similar to 'American Horror Story' in that it's anthological but different in that at the end of the first season there will only be four characters out of 25 left. And those four in season two will go on to a new horror genre — like a sorority is a horror genre to me, it's a place where there were horror movies in the '80s like 'Sorority Row' — and they will go on. That's the format of the show."

"It's sort of like a twist on 'American Horror Story': every season is a new season, a new setting, a new establishment — the difference being you will know some of the characters who will live. That's the fun to me; the reason I love writing it and being a part of it is it's like an Agatha Christie mystery where every week it's who's going to live and who's going to die. We do kill off a huge amount of people every week. It's a whodunit at its core."
