Scream Queens is an American reality TV series on VH1 produced by Joke Productions and Lionsgate Television, which premiered in October 2008. The show chronicles a group of unknown actresses competing for a role in the Saw franchise.
Concept
Scream Queens was a reality competition series, in which ten unknown actresses per season had to face a number of varied challenges over the course of 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 of the show 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 premieren 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.
