John Stamos Joining Scream Queens in Season 2
As someone who grew up watching “General Hospital,” John Stamos will always be “Blackie” to me although I imagine that for those of you who are a bit younger than I, he’ll always be “Jesse” from “Full House.”
Now, a whole new generation will get to know him as “Dr. Brock Holt” since he’s joining Fox’s “Scream Queens” as a series regular in Season 2. Read on for the details!
From the Press Release:
John Stamos (“Grandfathered,” “Fuller House”) has been cast in a series regular role in the upcoming second season of “SCREAM QUEENS,” the comedy-horror series from award-winning executive producers Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan.
Premiering Tuesday, September 20 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), on FOX, Season Two of “SCREAM QUEENS” graduates from the college campus and into an all-new location, as a terrifyingly funny mystery will begin once again. Set in a hospital, where some of the most fascinating and bizarre medical cases are under observation, Stamos will play DR. BROCK HOLT, the hospital’s brilliant, but secretive head surgeon. Stamos previously collaborated with Murphy in guest-starring roles on the comedies “Glee” and “The New Normal.”
As previously announced, Golden Globe Award nominee Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Glen Powell, and Niecy Nash are set to reprise their Season One characters with additional casting to be announced.
Emmy Award-nominated actor and producer Stamos continues to captivate audiences with an array of multi-faceted performances across television, film, and theater. With a career spanning 30 years, Stamos has become one of the most revered television stars of his generation. In 2016 Stamos won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Actor in a New TV Series for his role on FOX’s “Grandfathered” and was awarded TV Land’s Timeless Icon Award, presented to him by longtime friend and mentor Garry Marshall. Earlier this year “Fuller House,” a multi-camera comedy spin-off of iconic comedy “Full House,” premiered with Stamos serving as a producer and guest star. The series was recently renewed for a second season. Stamos’ additional television credits include “General Hospital,” “Necessary Roughness,” “Galavant,” “Entourage,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” as well as the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning drama “ER.” As a producer, Stamos is in development with Twentieth Century Fox and Academy Award-winning producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan on a musical feature set to the songs of the Beach Boys.
Stamos also has established a strong stage presence, beginning with his Broadway debut in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” as “J. Pierrepont Finch.” Other Broadway credits include Gore Vidal’s Tony Award-nominated political play “The Best Man” with James Earl Jones, Roundabout Theatre Company’s “Bye Bye Birdie,” and the Tony Award-winning musicals “Nine” and “Cabaret.” Additional theater credits include “Hairspray” and “The Little Mermaid” at the Hollywood Bowl. A gifted drummer, singer, and musician, Stamos occasionally tours with the legendary band the Beach Boys, of which he’s been a part for 30 years. As an advocate for Project Cuddle, Stamos serves as the non-profit’s national spokesperson and Chairman of the advisory board and has been a supporter of the charity for nearly 10 years.
