'Scream Queens' Star Diego Boneta Not Returning For Season 2

Diego Boneta is not coming back for the upcoming season 2 of "Scream Queens."

Boneta's character, Pete Martinez, was killed in the season 1 finale of the comedy-horror series, but since series co-creator Ryan Murphy is fond of resurrecting characters on some shows he conceived, a lot of fans were still hoping that the 25-year-old actor would still reprise his role in season 2. Boneta, however, has set the record straight, and confirmed his departure from the Fox series.

"It was honestly such an amazing platform for me and such a great experience that it gave me these movies I'm working on right now," Boneta told Wetpaint. "So unfortunately I won't be going back for the second season because of that."

Boneta's three upcoming movies are dramedy "Before I Fall," drama "Another You" and sci-fi film "The Titan."

While Boneta is no longer part of the cast, three new male actors will be joining the show next season, and all them will be playing doctors.

There have been rumors about One Direction member Harry Styles playing one of the doctors, but the British crooner has yet to confirm anything.

Lea Michele and her "Scream Queens" co-stars mentioned Styles more than once during the show's PaleyFest panel last March, fuelling rumors that the 22-year-old singer will appear in the next season of the show.

According to Hollywood Life, when "Scream Queens" co-creator Brad Falchuk revealed that Michele's character, Hester, will be "intimately involved" with someone in the new season, Michele cut him and asked "...with Harry Styles?"

Falchuk then jokingly blamed the "Glee" alum for starting the rumor that Styles is one of the new male actors joining the show in season 2.

"She started all this," Falchuk said during the panel, according to Us Weekly. "She started this rumor and now it's a thing."

The rumor actually started to circulate online shortly after last October's Q&A at Fan Fright Fest in New York City, where Murphy revealed that he received an email from a big male pop star asking him to be part of the series.

Michele apparently heard about the rumor and told Directioners around the world to keep their cool if it really ends up to be Styles.

"If it's Harry Styles, everybody better calm down," Michele told InStyle last December. "I love One Direction. Everybody knows this. I'm also thinking that he should be in the "Wicked" movie. He's our modern day Mick Jagger."
