Manganiello, Michele, Breslin, Palmer and Grande will join previously announced Scream Queens cast members Jamie Lee Curtis and American Horror Story’s Emma Roberts, who will take on starring roles in the limited series.

“I knew I wanted to work with Brad and Ian again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing Scream Queens,” Murphy said in a statement when the show was announced. “We hope to create a whole new genre—comedy-horror—and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads. We’ve already begun a nationwide search for those women, as well as 10 other supporting roles, and we’re very grateful to Dana [Walden] and Gary [Newman] for their enthusiastic support.”

The new anthology series from Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan revolves around a college campus which is rocked by a series of murders. The first season will be 15 hour-long episodes.

Scream Queens is scheduled to begin production in the spring, and will premiere in fall 2015 on Fox.
