Schoenbrun previously called Dacus a “brilliant” artist, advertised the project with “NEWS!! I made an epic gay music video for one of the great gay jams, NIGHT SHIFT.”

“Night Shift” and “Yellowjackets” star Brown said recently The Gay Times, “I’m very proud to be a queer woman, I’m very proud to be a black woman, and I’m very proud to be a queer black woman. The fact that queer people like the projects I’m involved in makes me very happy. Great fun. We’re having fun. Gays are fun, you know? It was a whirlwind. It’s pretty crazy and funny how life works because I’ve been doing this for 10 years and it just clicked out of nowhere… No one wants to watch straight people talk anymore! We’ll get there. We’ve got a way to go, but at least we’re on our way, and that’s exciting.”

As the first openly queer “Scream” franchise character, Brown added, “It means everything to me. Like we said before, it’s outrageous that things have taken as long as they have in this industry. Being one of the lucky few to debut something and be the front of the wave is very exciting. We all met with open arms, but being queer our whole community is like, “Oh my god, finally!” It’s a lot of fun and I’m so grateful for the art, messages, and support. I’m very proud to represent that and I hope I’m doing a good job.”
