Grace Gardner left the show after the first season. Her character’s absence was not directly addressed in the show’s second season.
In the first season of “Scream Queens,” Grace Gardner, played by Skyler Samuels, is a central character. She enrolls at Wallace University and joins the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority, which becomes the target of a series of murders by the Red Devil killer. Grace’s storyline revolves around her trying to solve the mystery of the killings and discovering the truth about her mother’s past connection to the sorority.
However, Grace’s character does not return for the second season, and the show does not provide a clear explanation for her absence. The creators and writers did not include her in the storyline of the second season, which shifts the setting from a college campus to a hospital. The focus is placed on the returning characters and new additions to the cast. Skyler Samuels, the actress who portrayed Grace, moved on to other projects, and the show itself did not last beyond the second season, as it was canceled in 2017.
