AceShowbiz - Joe Manganiello is no longer on board "Scream Queens". The hunky actor has to bow out of the upcoming horror-comedy anthology series from Ryan Murphy due to "scheduling conflicts," citing his commitments to promoting his new movie "Magic Mike XXL" internationally.
The show, however, has found a replacement for the former "True Blood" actor. Oliver Hudson, who stars as Jeff Fordham on "Nashville", has been cast in the lead male role left vacant by Manganiello.
"Scream Queens", slated to premiere this fall, also stars Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Ariana Grande, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Nick Jonas and Skyler Samuels. The first season will center on a college campus rocked by several murders.
Roberts is featured in a new teaser for the show. Similar to the previous teaser, the newly released one is set to an upbeat music and shows a young girl (Roberts) blowing pink bubble gum. It then turns horrifying as a demonic face appears on the bubble.
