After all the blood spill in season 1, "Scream Queens" will turn a lot darker when the series returns for season 2.

According to the cast members of the horror comedy anthology, "Scream Queens" season 2 will be bloodier and more tragic.

"I think it'll be dark. I think it's going to be very dark," actress Jamie Lee Curtis told E! News during Fox's fall 2016-2017 season announcement in New York City. "It's in a hospital, [there's] a lot of darkness in hospitals—dark hallways, scary rooms, sharp objects, a lot of blood, disinfectants."

Previous reports claimed that Curtis's character, Dean Munsch, will decide to leave Wallace University after the series of murders in season 1 to travel the world and write a book. After the book becomes a commercial success, she will decide to buy a mental hospital where the ladies from the KKT sorority will be reunited.

Meanwhile, season 1's big bad Lea Michele said that she is excited to see how the series will turn darker next season.

"I don't know how I can get any darker than I did in season one but hey, whatever Ryan Murphy wants me to do I am totally down with," the actress said. "I get to be even crazier this year than I was last year, if you can believe it!"

Emma Roberts also teased that the inclusion of new cast members will bring in more fun in the story.

"We're adding some incredible new cast members that you'll find out about soon. It's going to be fun, it's going to be wild," Roberts said. "We haven't even read a script yet though, so we actually don't know what's going to happen."

At the moment, the network is still quiet about the names of the new additions for the sophomore season of the comedy-horror anthology. But fans are expecting to hear a new announcement about the cast and the premiere date of "Scream Queens" season 2 soon.
