'Scream Queens' Season 2 Adds Four Male Characters to Join Surviving Members of Cast

Last week we learned that Fox's Scream Queens is being renewed for a second season. Now, the first little bits of casting news for the new season are leaking out. Who will join the remaining members of the original cast for season 2?

Although we don't have any official names, E! News is reporting that four male cast members are being added and that the casting process is well underway. Given the mega star power of the first season (Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Oliver Hudson, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas...), it's a given that these four mystery men will probably be known names.

Murphy had also previously told The Hollywood Reporter back in October that he wanted the new season to feature more diverse age groups, so perhaps some older leading men will be joining the pack?

The new additions will join at least some of the original cast, as Fox exec Dana Walden confirmed last week. "[Creator Ryan Murphy] definitely intends to bring some of the actors from the first installment back. I believe they will be the same characters," she said.

Star Lea Michele has expressed interest in rejoining the show multiple times, and says she hopes Roberts will be back as well. "Yes, we're playing the same characters in a new location. We would all go somewhere, and it's explained why we're going where we're going. Hopefully Emma Roberts will be back for sure, too," she said.

The cast will be dealing with the horrors of a hospital, Fox revealed last week. Fox boss Gary Newman said of the setting, "It's going to take place in a hospital and explore some of the most interesting medical fascinomas." He went on to say that due to Murphy's previous work on Nip/Tuck, he would be bringing that medical "sensibility" to the season.

An official air date for season 2 has not been released.
