Scream Queens casts Kirstie Alley in major season 2 role 

Nick Jonas, Janelle Monae, James Corden and more at EW\'s ultimate pop culture festival.

Alley will play the “brilliant and devious administrator” of the C.U.R.E. Institute, “where some of the most fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation.”

Fox’s press releases declares that Alley is “one of the great actresses of her generation, proving time and again that she is capable of great depth and range, as well as possessing a comedic timing second to none.”

She has earned two Emmys and a Golden Globe after all. Plus, the pairing of Alley in a Ryan Murphy-produced series seems like, if anything, something that should have happened sooner. Alley was most recently in the Will Arnett and Mitch Hurwitz comedy

. Appropriately, she also has at least one horror film on her resume, 1995’s

As previously announced, John Stamos, Taylor Lautner, and James Earl have also joined the

cast, while Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Glen Powell, and Niecy Nash are set to reprise their first season characters.
