Scream Queens is the latest FOX series by Ryan Murphy, and he has already begun thinking about the second season of the series. However, this series has already had rumors about it being cancelled due to low ratings pop up on various news outlets online.
Ratings for the series premiere were not the best. The Muppets beat the premiere of Scream Queens with its premiere on ABC, but the FOX series does have something going for it – delayed viewership. In fact, that is what might end up saving the series from the television graveyard.
The series has seen an 80 percent improvement on its ratings with delayed viewership. After the premiere with its four million viewers, Ryan Murphy admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that he thought the low ratings meant his career was over.
Far from it actually. Not every Ryan Murphy series is a hit, but he seems to get it right more often than not. American Horror Story premiered its fifth season this month, and it is already bringing in high ratings for FX every Wednesday night.
There is more coming too. Ryan Murphy is already working on a musical dramedy with Gwyneth Paltrow, according to The Huffington Post. Don’t forget that he has American Crime Story set to premiere in February 2016 either. One really does have to wonder where he finds time to fit it all. One also has to wonder how he manages to keep everything straight in his head.
If Scream Queens manages to survive its first season and returns to FOX for a second season, Murphy teased some of his ideas to The Hollywood Reporter.
“He’s already pitched Walden on a broader second season, which would feature a cast of all different age groups. (The current one will likely have four survivors, whom he says will play the same characters in a new venue.)”
On the other side of the coin – if Scream Queens is cancelled, it would not be the first Ryan Murphy to end during season one. NBC cancelled his comedy The New Normal after just one season. That was a personal blow to Murphy because it was based on his own personal experiences.
Murphy is far from dead in this business. He seems to have a lot of ideas in his head. Will every series be a hit? Probably not, but he takes chances. In a landscape of reboots and remakes, that is something one can appreciate.

I believe that the show will survive despite low rates
Fox will pinch its nose and give Ryan another season of SQ. I don’t like the show at all.
It’s not good. Pg 13? Jamie Lee is freaking amazing. I really really tried to like the show. It’ is really really awful. FOX, pls find something else and get away from this sick writing!!!!
Scream Queens is one if the best TV shows i have ever seen in my life. It is too good. If Fox cancels my show, I will he so angry.
This show is a breath of fresh air! Love looking forward to watching this every week. I would be so miserable if this gets cancelled!!
I love this show. Ms.Curtis and Ms.Roberts make the show watchable. love them.
Omg you have got to be ******* kidding me. Scream Queens is the best new show around!!!! Its unlike anything else. Emma Roberts & Jamie Lee are LIFE!!! Im obssesed. Its what i look forward to each week. I light up my Punking Patch candle sit back and enjoy an hour of fun. I recently ordered a Scream Queens game off ebay & i cant wait!!!! My little sister is going as Chanel #1 for Halloween and my Chihuahua as Chanel#2. How can something so good be taken away from us??!! When theres all these boooooring craptastic shows that get… Read more »
It can be taken away because there are not enough people watching it. Plus, it’s probably very expensive to film.
I do not want Scream Queens to get canceled, it is a great show!
I get a kick out of this show & look forward to each weekly installment. Love how the writers have made everyone a potential suspect with a motive. I hope the show gets a season 2 – the concept is fresh and fun. As to the NCIS fans’ objections above – I’m an NCIS fan too, but c’mon … they show reruns of NCIS ad nauseum on several cable channels. So, chill-out, lighten-up & embrace the cra-cra of Scream Queens.
Seriously? Who would consider cancelling this/ I love it! Ms. Roberts and Curtis are excellent in their characters!!! I love each episode but I have to dvr it all the time as I can’t watch it on the time slot it’s on. What ***** would cancel such a good show? I am looking forward to how they start season 2 and 3 already.
