The Fox TV show, which stars Lea Michele and Emma Roberts, will return for another series which will be set in a hospital, "where some of the most fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation," and feature a new murder mystery.

Lea told Variety: "I do know what [creator] Ryan Murphy's plan is and it's really fun. It's an homage to another classic horror film. This year was 'Heathers'. Next season would be a take on another classic girl film."

Although the setting will be moved from season one's sorority to a hospital, Lea insisted the characters will remain the same.

She said: "Yes, we're playing the same characters in a new location. We would all go somewhere, and it's explained why we're going where we're going. Hopefully Emma Roberts will be back for sure, too."

When asked who else will be returning, she quipped: "It depends on how many gift baskets to Ryan Murphy Productions people can send in time. I think the cast is so incredible. I know Ryan is loyal to everyone, so hopefully everyone will be able to come back at least for something."
