Scream Queens premiered last week to modest overnight ratings (4 million viewers) but saw a huge bump with DVR and online viewing. In the live-plus-three-day (L3) ratings, Scream Queens got an 80% lift, to a new total of 7.3 million across all platforms, including Fox Now and Hulu. The median age of the show also dropped from 52 to 36.

“The story of the fall is just how much people are time-shifting and watching programming in new and much more dramatic ways than even six months ago,” says executive producer Ryan Murphy.

On the next episode, airing tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX, the Red Devil's reign of terror continues.

In "Chainsaw," Chanel finds a new project in Hester, Chanel #3 confesses a secret and Grace and Zayday uncover a surprising connection between two fellow students. Meanwhile, Denise sets her sights on one of the Kappas, and Dean Munsch appoints a new Wallace University mascot as Chad and Earl Grey lead the fraternity on a witch hunt for the Red Devil.
