The Scream Queens Season 3 coffin continues to close.
First Lea Michele, now Keke Palmer has departed the FOX horror series, joining EPIX’s Berlin Station as a series regular for Season 2, per THR:
Palmer is the latest Scream Queens star to line up a new role. Lea Michele recently signed on for a role in Daveed Diggs’ ABC comedy. Sources say Palmer was, like Michele, released from her Scream Queens contract. Although the horror-comedy anthology appears unlikely to return, Palmer would not return if it is renewed.
Palmer will play April Lewis, the newest and youngest case officer assigned to Berlin Station on her first field assignment after making her mark as an analyst at Langley. With a bracing combination of millennial intrepidity and old-fashioned sass, April brings a new-guard mentality often at odds with her old-guard colleagues in a system struggling to preserve its besieged identity. But she is determined to make her mark in Berlin, as she did back home at Headquarters.
With Scream Queens continuing to bleed talent, cancellation seems inevitable. Stay tuned as the reaper moves in for the kill…
