Cougar Town star Nick Zano has joined The CW's Melrose Place reboot.
The 31-year-old, who recently played Courteney Cox's young love interest Josh on the ABC comedy, will appear as a doctor and new resident on the nighttime drama from January, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Zano revealed that his character befriends the show's nurse and prostitute Lauren (Stephanie Jacobsen).
He said: "He's a person who enjoys life. He lives every day to [its fullest]… I just literally walked out of a meeting with [executive producers] Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin. They were very specific about how they're going to change the direction of the show."
He added: "In TV, you usually don't get a chance to fix anything. It's always easier to cancel something than fix it. And The CW clearly has a passion for the show, because it's still on the air.
"And all of these people are making a very concentrated effort to improve the show and I'm happy to be a part of it."
Series stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield were recently confirmed to be leaving Melrose Place in January.
