Jerry O'Connell is joining the cast of "Scream Queens" for season 2. The actor, best known for playing Quinn Mallory on "Sliders" and Detective Woody Hoyt on "Crossing Jordan" among other roles, will recur in the upcoming installment of the comedy-horror series, EW reports.

The 42-year-old, who recently guest starred on Freeform's "Young & Hungry" and ABC's "Mistresses", will first appear in the season premiere slated to air Tuesday, September 20 at 9/8c. His role, however, is currently kept under wraps.
