Twilight star Taylor Lautner says he is excited to join TV series Scream Queens, adding that his character on the show is “completely different for” him.

Lautner plays the role of Cassidy Cascade in season two of Scream Queens, which will air in India on Star World and Star World HD soon.

Executive producer Ian Brennan, who was at San Diego Comic-Con, said: “It’s completely different for me. I’ve never done anything like this, and I just wanted to work with talented people.”

This season is set in a hospital, where some fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation.

Lautner’s character suffers from a strange medical condition and becomes a suspect when a series of tragic events plagues the institution.

Actors Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Glen Powell and Niecy Nash are set to reprise their season one characters.

Emmy Award-nominee John Stamos also joins the cast as one of the series’ new male leads.
