Concept
Scream Queens was a reality competition series in which ten unknown actresses per season had to face several varied challenges for seven weeks, in which they had to prove their acting skills. A jury consisting of three show hosts judged the candidates based on their performances. Every week, one participant was eliminated until only three actresses were left, who had to compete against each other in the final. The winner was ultimately crowned Scream Queen and thereby gained a small role in the Saw film series.
Season 1
The show was announced in June 2008 and premiered on October 20, 2008. In the first season, James Gunn directed the contestants during acting challenges, actress Shawnee Smith served as a mentor, and John Homa provided instructions. All three of them also acted as judges. Season 1 ended on December 8, 2008, when Tanedra Howard was crowned Scream Queen and won the role of Simone in Saw VI.
