Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Glen Powell, Niecy Nash and Jamie Lee Curtis have all been announced for the second season of the show, with the first season's central actress Grace Gardner noticeably absent from the list.
The Instagram post confirming the cast came after a panel at PaleyFest, with the network also hinting that this season would be taking place in a hospital.
EW reports that executive producer Brad Falchuck spoke about character Dean Munsch (Curtis) returning to the show, and how she's landing herself a brand new battle after purchasing a hospital.
He explained: "She's abolished the Greek system in the country, she's written her book, she's travelled the world, and she says, 'I need a new mission. I need a new battle.' And she identifies healthcare as her new battle."
Falchuck also noted how the Chanels (Roberts, Breslin, Lourde) will be in a mental institution, with Denise (Nash) joining the FBI and Zayday (Palmer) working her way towards becoming a doctor.
New castmembers will also come in the form of "studly, hot doctors", as Powell's Chad Radwell is the only returning male character announced for the show so far.
