Chad Lowe is heading to The CW. Entertainment Weekly reports the Pretty Little Liars star will direct and guest star on season three of Supergirl.

On the DC Comics drama, he’ll be playing “Thomas Coville, a charismatic religious leader with a surprising connection to Supergirl — his cult basically worships the Girl of Steel.” The regular cast includes Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, David Harewood, Floriana Lima, and Chris Wood.

In addition to guest starring, Lowe will also direct the seventh episode of Supergirl‘s third season, which is titled “Wake Up.” Season three of Supergirl premieres on The CW on October 9th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
