"Twilight" star Taylor Lautner will join the regular cast of "Scream Queens" season 2.

E! News revealed that Lautner will portray the role of Dr. Cassidy Cascade in the comedy horror anthology. According to the report, Dr. Cascade has a strange medical condition, which made him a suspect in the series of tragic events that happened inside the hospital. He will also be linked to Billie Lourd's character, Sadie Swenson/Chanel #3.

Aside from Lautner, John Stamos was also tapped to portray a new male lead role named Dr. Brock Holt. Based on the press release from Fox, Dr. Holt is "the hospital's brilliant, but secretive, head surgeon."

Both actors will join season 1 cast members who will reprise their roles next season, including Jamie Lee Curtis as former university dean turned hospital owner Cathy Munsch, Emma Roberts as the ruthless sorority leader Chanel Oberlin, Lea Michele as season 1's murderer Hester Ulrich, Abigail Breslin as Libby Putney, Keke Palmer as Zayday Williams, Glen Powell as Chad Radwell, and Niecy Nash as Denise Hemphill.

Speaking about the fate of her role in an interview with Deadline, Curtis revealed that she still has no idea what will happen to Dean Munsch next season.

"I would assume we'll get a script in the next three weeks. I know there's a time skip—and I know that term because I have a 20-year-old fan of a show called One Piece, which is a Japanese anime TV show," Curtis said, talking about her son Thomas in the interview. "For me, the pleasure will be in the mouthfuls of ideas and words that I get to say, channeled through this funny woman. It's just been a real pleasure in my life—a real bloody feather in my cap."

Curtis teased that her character could perhaps become the prey in the next installment of the horror-comedy anthology.

"Scream Queens" season 2 is scheduled to premiere on Fox on Sept. 20.
