Lautner announced his casting on Instagram, writing: ”Big news everyone!! Thrilled to be joining @screamqueensFox it's going to be such a blast playing Dr. Cassidy Cascade. The season 2 premiere is Tuesday, September 20 at 9pm on Fox!”
Curtis previously said that fans should brace themselves for a much “darker” second season. "I think it'll be dark. I think it's going to be very dark," she told E! News in May. "It's in a hospital, [there's] a lot of darkness in hospitals—dark hallways, scary rooms, sharp objects, a lot of blood, disinfectants.”
