Emma Roberts stars as Chanel Oberlin, the queen bee of Kappa Kappa Tau. “She isn’t exactly the nicest person, definitely not warm and fuzzy,” says Roberts. “She’s a b—-, for lack of a better word.” Never fear, though, Roberts promises there’s still plenty of humor in store. “‘Scream Queens’ is horror, but it’s a dark comedy,” she adds. “We were surprised by how funny the script is.”

Ariana Grande plays sorority sister Chanel #2. “She’s a loyal friend… she’s the most timid of the group,” says Grande. “She might be the safest, least daring one of the group.”

What’s Chanel #2’s goal? “I don’t know if she has goals. I think she’s just happy being a part of the group.”

The final member of the group is Abigail Breslin, as the “conservative, a little uptight” Chanel #5.

“She’s smart and cunning and sociopathic and a little bit insane, and it’s exactly what I hoped it would be,” says Breslin. “I’ve never played a mean girl before… It’s my goal to just be evil and be a mean girl and it’s just been so exciting… It’s such a dream job for me.”
