Lea Michele Exits 'Scream Queens' to Join New ABC Comedy

Lea Michele has been cast in a new comedy pilot for ABC and she will not return to Fox’s Scream Queens if the series is given a third season.

The 30-year-old actress will star alongside Tony winner Daveed Diggs in a currently untitled comedy about a city mayor.

The series will follow “what happens when an outspoken, idealistic rapper Courtney (Search Party‘s Brandon Micheal Hall) runs for office as a publicity stunt. When he actually gets elected, he surprises everyone (including himself) when he has a natural knack for the job and slowly transforms city hall,” according to THR.

Lea‘s character was reportedly originally planned to be Courtney’s chief of staff, but the role is being modified to fit her.

Ryan Murphy has reportedly released Lea from her deal to star in the potential third season of Scream Queens. The show has not yet been renewed and is still on the bubble as pilot season heads into full swing. If the show does return, it will come back without Hester Ulrich.

Fox Execs Give Update on 'Scream Queens' Season Three

Fans are finally getting an update about Scream Queens season three!

After Fox’s panel at the 2017 TCA Winter Press Tour, executives Gary Newman and David Madden said it’s still a possibility.

“It’s very much still in consideration for a renewal. The ratings don’t tell the whole story; because it’s such a young audience, you can’t really even see the full picture even in L+3,” David told Variety.

Gary added, “Like Pitch and The Exorcist, we’re not going to make any decisions until later this year. Obviously, we would have loved to have seen it do bigger numbers. The delayed viewing is there. It reaches a hard-to-reach younger audience, which we like, but we’re just going to have to see what our needs are when we get closer to May.”

We really hope they decide to renew the show!

Billie Lourd Once Said Her Grandmother Debbie Reynolds Loved 'Scream Queens'

Billie Lourd always had nothing but amazing things to say about her grandmother Debbie Reynolds.

The 24-year-old Scream Queens star sadly lost both her mother Carrie Fisher and her grandmother this week.

She once opened up about what “an incredible grandmother” Debbie was in a resurfaced interview.

“She’s had such an incredible career and she’s done so many shows that people don’t even know about,” Billie told People earlier this year. “She performs in Reno, she performs all over the country. It’s an incredible thing for people to see what a full star she is. She really does it all.”

Billie added, “She is incredibly funny. I was downstairs with her just a week ago – she lives downstairs at my house, we’re all on this crazy actors compound that is insane. And I went down there and she was trying to convince me to start my own act, because she thinks that that’s the way that acting happens.”

As for what Debbie thought of Scream Queens, Billie said, “She thinks it’s hilarious, she loves it so much. She loves the costumes. [She's] obsessed with fur and ear muffs and all of that.”

Debbie sadly passed away from a stroke just a day after Carrie died from cardiac arrest.
