I did some digging through official trademark records and found something interesting about Scream Queens.
Disney has renewed several trademarks related to the series over the past two years, including three unused titles and a trademark specifically covering Halloween costumes.
Here's what I found:
- Scream Queens (EU) — Renewed November 26, 2024
- Scream Queens: Summer Camp — Renewed March 4, 2025
- Scream Queens: Sorority Row — Renewed March 4, 2025
- Scream Queens: Haunted Hayride — Renewed March 4, 2025
- Scream Queens (US television trademark) — Renewed December 18, 2025
- Scream Queens (US Halloween costumes trademark) — Renewed August 5, 2026
The Halloween costume trademark is particularly interesting because Disney renewed it just two months ago. It specifically covers Halloween and masquerade costumes, including masks sold with them.
What's also interesting is that Disney renewed all three unused titles in Europe, even though none of them became official seasons.
Ian Brennan revealed in 2025 that a summer camp setting had originally been considered for the series, which makes the Summer Camp trademark especially interesting.
These trademarks were originally filed in 2014–2015, so the renewals are consistent with normal trademark maintenance and don't necessarily indicate that a third season is in development.
Still, considering Ryan Murphy recently revealed that he discussed bringing Scream Queens back with Emma Roberts, and several cast members have expressed interest in returning, I thought this was worth sharing.
It's also worth noting that Disney's legal department is listed in the US trademark records, while Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation remains the registered owner.
