Cowboy Bebop's John Cho has nabbed a recurring role in the Apple TV+ murder-mystery comedy The Afterparty.
Its debut season concluded back in March, starring Ben Schwartz, Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao, and Deadline reports that Elizabeth Perkins (Big), Paul Walter Hauser (Cruella), Jack Whitehall (Jungle Cruise) and Ken Jeong (Community) will all be part of the second season too.
Zach Woods (The Office), Poppy Liu (Hacks), Anna Konkle (PEN15) and Vivian Wu (Station 19) also join.
Each episode of the show explores a different character's account of a fateful evening, using the lens of different film genres and visuals to show their perspective. Cho's character is named Ulysses, while the new storyline revolves around a death at a wedding.

"I put a lot of my life into it," the actor told The Hollywood Reporter after Netflix swung the axe. "I'd gotten injured shooting that show and so I took a year off because of the surgery and devoted myself to rehab, came back and finished the show.
"It was just a huge event in my life and it was suddenly over. It was very shocking and I was bummed. But I was very warmed by the response."

The beloved Star Trek man continued: "I wish I could have contacted everybody and gotten hugs. You can't do that now, but... I don't know what this is. I'm mystified a little bit about how you can connect with people that you don't know doing your work, but I won't question it. I will value it and treasure it.
"I'm just really deeply appreciative that anyone would care. It's stunning to me."
The Afterparty returns to Apple TV+ for season 2 at a later date, while Cowboy Bebop can be found over on Netflix.
