Fox renews Scream Queens

After months of whether or not it will get cancelled, it's official that Scream Queens will be back for a second season.

The network on Friday announced that the Ryan Murphy's slasher comedy was renewed for a second season, ending the speculations of it's future due to it's rating challenge.

"It's going to take place in a hospital and explore some of the most interesting medical fascinomas," says Fox boss Gary Hewman. "This is something Ryan Murphy loves and had a lot of fun with on "Nip/Tuck, and he, Brad (Falchuk) and Ian (Brennan) are going to infuse that sensibility on Scream Queens."

"Ryan definitely intends to bring some of the actors from the fist installment back," adds Fox's Dana Walden. "I believe they will be the same characters."

Scream Queens ended it's first season in December with the long-awaited reveal of Lea Michele's Hester as the dreaded Red Devil, who was terrorizing Wallace University.

Though the series average just 2.8 million viewers weekly and a 1.1 demo rating. But Fox notes that only 30 percent of its audience watched live, with 26 percent caught up on DVR and 44 percent viewed the show via VOD and Hulu.
