The cast of our future favorite show just keeps getting better!

Nick Jonas has joined the cast of Fox's upcoming horror comedy anthology, which will spend its first season set in a sorority house at a college that has been rocked by a series of murders.

It's kind of impressive that the youngest Jonas Brother even has time to add another project to his plate, since he's been pretty busy lately. He released new music in the fall and starred in DirecTV's mixed martial arts drama Kingdom, which has already been renewed for two seasons. He'll also be appearing on The Voice as mentor for Christina Aguilera's team during the battle rounds after season 8 premieres next month.

Jonas is just the latest name added to an impressive cast that includes Lea Michele, Joe Manganiello, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts and a guest spot by Ariana Grande.

There aren't any details about any characters available yet, but we're already pretty excited about this show, especially considering that the guys behind it are pretty well-versed in horror.

Co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan will serve as executive producers along with Dante Di Loreto. After such success with Glee and American Horror Story, it's clear that execs at Fox are pretty pleased with Murphy and co.  

"We trust [Murphy] implicitly and he has proven over the years that he has great instincts for building characters that people care about and fall in love with," Fox boss Gary Newman tells E! News. "He brings an outrageousness to what he does that is his unique signature and Scream Queens, he's literally the perfect person to do this. It's going to be an amazing, suspenseful, fun run."

The first season, which will consist of fifteen episodes, is set to begin production this spring and will premiere this fall on Fox!
