The cast of “Scream Queens” joined series co-creator Brad Falchuck at a PaleyFest panel on Saturday night, and have revealed that the entirety of the main cast will be back for the show’s second season.
Star Jamie Lee Curtis said she will return for season 2 along with Billie Lourd, Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, Keke Palmer, Lea Michele and Niecy Nash.
The second season will be set at a hospital and will reportedly draw inspiration from the classic horror franchise “Halloween” – which also starred Curtis and was partially set in a hospital. According to Falchuck, Curtis’ character Dean Cathy Munsch will run the hospital.
Also revealed was that production will be relocated from New Orleans (where the first season was shot), to Los Angeles to film season 2.
Here are the “Scream Queens” Season 2 character descriptions (via Variety):
The Chanels (Roberts, Breslin, Lourd): Following up on the season finale, the Chanels have been committed to mental institution, where they’ll be studying under their former nemesis Dean Munsch. “Things have been flipped around,” said Falchuk.
Hester (Michele): While Falchuk didn’t detail Hester (a.k.a. Chanel #6’s) role in the operations of the hospital, he said, “In this hospital, there’s some funny business going as well. There’s an aspect to this show that involves murder and a killer and in those ways Hester is going to be intimately involved.”
Zayday (Palmer): After graduating from Wallace University in two years, Zayday will be training to become a doctor under the supervision of Dean Munsch.
Dean Munsch (Curtis): After traveling the world in search of a new passion, Dean Munsch buys a hospital and will “run this hospital the way she sees fit.”
Denise (Nash): Denise is now a member of the FBI and will cross paths with the other characters when her expertise is needed to solve the worsening problems at the hospital.
Falchuk also confirmed the return of actor Glen Powell and the addition of three new characters, who he described as “stud-ly doctors.”
