Former The Vampire Diaries and The Originals star Joseph Morgan has a TV comeback lined up.
The Klaus Mikaelson actor is set to star in a recurring role in TNT drama series Animal Kingdom, playing the role of Colin's (Grant Harvey) brother Jed.
Debuting in next week's episode 'SHTF', Jed is described as an unstable man who has "rejected mainstream society and chooses to live in isolation on a rural compound with his beleaguered wife and three children" (via TVLine).
The character is part of a series of flashbacks to 1977, which document how Janine (Leila George) turned into crime family matriarch Smurf (Ellen Barkin).
Morgan has a fairly busy TV schedule coming up with roles in a TV adaptation of movie Gone Baby Gone, as well as an adaptation of the classic novel Brave New World.
Meanwhile, last year The Originals creator Julie Plec opened up about an unused storyline involving Morgan's character Klaus.
What to Read Next
"The one thing that we never did that I wanted to do for five years was a fan ask that I really wanted to honour — showing Klaus' full transformation into a werewolf," she explained.
"For many years we didn't get there for financial reasons, and then it was just story reasons, and then back to financial reasons. And then the show was over."
Animal Kingdom continues on TNT on Tuesday (July 23) at 9/8c.
