In May 2016, Lea Michele joined her “Scream Queens” co-stars, including Emma Roberts, at the 2016 Fox Upfront Presentation at New York City’s Central Park.
She discussed the second season of the hit Fox horror-comedy series and was asked about her then-rumored boyfriend, “iZombie” star Robert Buckley.
“You know, I’m just feeling really great right now and super happy,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I feel very, very, very lucky, and grateful in my life right now, and that’s all that matters.”
Did Ariana Grande Return for More Episodes of Scream Queens?
Guest-starring on six episodes of the Fox comedy-horror television series Scream Queens as Chanel #2 from September to November 2015, Ariana Grande was initially just supposed to star in one episode.
“Initially she was just going to do one episode, but she loved the process so much that she wanted to do more. When you go after people like her and Nick, their schedules are so insane between touring and music. And that’s like a whole other world, the world of being a pop rock star, which they both are. But in both their cases, one episode led to another episode, which led to another episode and I think Nick ended up giving us five episodes, something insane,” the show’s creator Ryan Murphy told E! about casting Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas.
