Scott Wolf Cast in Joey Dakota

Scott Wolf is on his way to The CW.

The former Party of Five and V star has landed a key role on Joey Dakota, the time-traveling drama starring Amber Stevens as Maya Beaumont, a filmmaker who gets sent a mysterious package and uses it to travel back in time and fall in love with the title character (played by Craig Horner), a rock star about whom she has just made a documentary.

She then spends the rest of the series trying to replicate this time traveling experience in order to save Dakota from an untimely death.

Wolf will appear in this high concept series as Franklin Morgan, the man who sends Dakota the aforementioned package and who, we later find out, has his own agenda for wanting to perfect the concept of time travel.

Among other recent casting notes:

• Anna Camp (True Blood, The Good Wife) has joined the cast of Mindy Kaling's upcoming Fox sitcom.
• Andrea Roth (Rescue Me) will take part in NBC's Revolution, a drama set in a world where all forms of energy have somehow ceased to exist.
• Bonnie Somerville (Cashmere Mafia) will portray the only female detective in Greg Berlanti’s CBS series Golden Boy.
