While the cast of Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens made a change today, all of the actual Scream Queens remain in tact… if that makes sense. The Wrap reports that True Blood’s Joe Manganiello has dropped out of the series with Nashville star Oliver Hudson slotting in to play the male lead. Manganiello was originally going to have a regular role on the show, but had to drop out due to a conflict in schedules. Such is life.
The newly added Hudson joins the previously announced Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Ariana Grande, Billie Lourd, Skyler Samuels and Nick Jonas. The first season of the anthology series will revolve around a college campus that gets rocked by a series of murders. Production is scheduled to begin in the spring, with the series premiering in the fall of 2015 on FOX.
“Scream Queens” is produced by 20th Century Fox Television in association Ryan Murphy Television. The series is co-created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. Murphy, Falchuk, Brennan and Dante Di Loreto will serve as executive producers.
