Ryan Murphy's popular television series Scream Queens has been renewed for a second season.

Season two will be set in a hospital where fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation. No casting has been announced, though it is expected that the cast from season one will return in the same roles they played. Scream Queens was set in a college campus on which a series of murders take place.

The first-season cast included Broadway vets Lea Michele, Keke Palmer, Ariana Grande, and Nick Jonas, alongside Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin (August: Osage County), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween), and Emma Roberts (American Horror Story).

Scream Queens is a production of Ryan Murphy Television, Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision, and 20th Century Fox Television. Murphy, Falchuk, and Ian Brennan are the series' cocreators and serve as writers and directors.
