The CW may have just returned with new episodes of Beauty and the Beast Season 2.

But the network has also broken some exciting news regarding Beauty and the Beast Season 3.

According to Deadline, Nicole Gale Anderson will be promoted to series regular for new episodes in 2015, meaning we'll be seeing plenty more of Catherine's sister early next year.

Recurring on Beauty and the Beast since the beginning, Anderson landed a lead in the the Pretty Little Liars spinoff Ravenswood, cutting down a bit on her CW screen time.

But Ravenswood was canceled after just one season and BATB welcomed Anderson with open arms.

The CW is yet to announce a premiere date for Beauty and the Beast Season 3, but it will likely be a midseason pickup.

Meanwhile, you can always stay current when you watch Beauty and the Beast online.
