Michael Ealy is making a return to Fox.

The former Almost Human star will play a key role on The Following Season 3, network sources confirm, coming on board the thriller as a “brilliant, chameleon-like” killer.

He will serve as a nemesis, of course, for Kevin Bacon’s Ryan Hardy.

Ealy was last seen on the aforementioned sci-fi drama and has also appeared on episodes of Common Law, Californication and The Good Wife.

He joins a Season 3 cast that will also include newcomers Hunter Parrih and Zuleikha Robinson.

Look for The Following Season 3 to premiere on March 2 and look to watch The Following online via TV Fanatic if you need to catch up before then.
