Nick Jonas 'Honored' to Portray a Gay Character in SCREAM QUEENS

Nick Jonas (Broadway's HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS) portrays Boone, a strong, gay character in the new FOX anthology series SCREAM QUEENS, which premiered last night. The role marks the second time the singer has played a gay character on TV.

In a new interview with ET, Jonas shared that it is a priviledge to take on the part. "I've been so honored to get to play some really strong gay characters," he says, adding "and whatever I can do for the community is just a blessing to me."

Jonas went on to shared details on his character, commenting, "For Boone in particular and this show as a whole, everything is not as it seems. So I would say get ready to get surprised by a lot of different things."

About the series:

Award-winning executive producers Ryan Murphy (GLEE, "American Horror Story"), Brad Falchuk (GLEE, "American Horror Story") and Ian Brennan (GLEE) meld comedy, mystery and horror in SCREAM QUEENS. All hell is about to break loose for the Kappa House sisters of Wallace University when a murder takes place, exactly 20 years after a mysterious death originally rocked their college campus.

The super-charged anthology series is a modern take on the classic whodunit with a killer cast, including Emma Roberts ("American Horror Story: Freak Show," "Scream 4"), Jamie Lee Curtis ("Halloween," "A Fish Called Wanda," "True Lies"), Lea Michele (SPRING AWAKENING, GLEE), Oliver Hudson ("Nashville," "Rules of Engagement"), Keke Palmer ("Akeela and the Bee," "Masters of Sex") and guest stars Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas ("Kingdom"), among others. With at least one casualty each week until the mystery is solved, anyone could be the next victim - or the murderer.
