Ariana Grande’s<\/a> short-lived character in Scream Queens almost made it to the 13th season of American Horror Story if not for her busy schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, AHS creator Ryan Murphy revealed that the latest season was originally supposed to be a crossover between the two horror shows, and that Grande was set to reprise her character, Chanel #2, from Scream Queens.<\/p>\n

However, the singer’s schedule for her Eternal Sunshine Tour<\/a> got in the way of her participation. The tour took place on June 6 to Sept. 1 this year, while the 13th season of AHS<\/a> started production from April 6 to July 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was funny because at one point I was going to have the Scream Queens come on to this season, but Ariana was touring and I couldn\u2019t make it work,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cBut she was like, \u2018I still want to do it! I just can\u2019t be on tour.\u2019 So I was like, \u2018All right, let me think of it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

“She warned me in advance that it was gonna be really hard to schedule, and the weekend we had to shoot it, she was touring, but I said, \u2018OK, I\u2019ll bump it down the road,\u2019 so I haven\u2019t given up. I love her,” he continued.<\/p>\n

The crossover ultimately did not work out, but Murphy highlighted that he\u2019s still interested in bringing back Scream Queens, as do the show’s principal cast members.<\/p>\n

“Emma [Roberts] and I were talking about that yesterday. You know, they want me to do it. I don\u2019t know. Emma really wants to do it. I know Billie [Lourd] wants to do it. Lea [Michele] wants to do it. Ariana wants to do it and Glen [Powell], my favorite of all time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Scream Queens premiered in 2015 and was canceled after only two seasons. It follows sorority Kappa Kappa Tau as they are targeted by a serial killer using the university’s Red Devil mascot as a disguise.<\/p>\n

Grande’s character is a member and minion of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority, serving as second-in-command under the queen bee, Chanel Oberlin, hence the name “Chanel #2.” The character didn’t get much time in the spotlight, as she was killed off in the very first episode.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 13th season of AHS pulls characters from several previous installments\u2014including Murder House, Coven, Freak Show, Hotel, and Cult\u2014and brings them into a connected storyline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande’s short-lived character in Scream Queens almost made it to the 13th season of American Horror Story…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[2408,157,232,9,24,63,36138,21640,36137,36139,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-355533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-celebrity","tag-entertainment","tag-lifestyle","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-philippine-star","tag-philippines","tag-philippines-news","tag-philstar","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
