Emily In Paris star Paul Forman has been confirmed for a guest role in the upcoming new series of Doctor Who.
The actor - Nicolas De Leon in the hit Netflix drama - will appear in a Regency-era episode as a character called Lord Barton, who "has a surface-level charm but carries sinister secrets underneath his smooth words".
Forman's role will come in the sixth episode of the new series, 'Rogue', which also stars Glee's Jonathan Groff.
"Any new chapter is exciting to be a part of, especially when it's of a beloved and remarkable universe such as Doctor Who," Forman, 30, told Entertainment Weekly.
"To join such an established project and to combine it with this feeling of new and unbounded possibilities was thrilling. It made this role a special experience that I will never forget."
Showrunner Russell T Davies added: "Someone like Paul isn't just a name; he's a talent. He comes along in episode 6, and it's a whale of a time.
"We've all seen Emily in Paris, and we've seen him being one sort of person. I don't think anyone's quite expecting him to become this sort of person."
Doctor Who returns with a double bill on Saturday, May 11 on BBC iPlayer in the UK and Disney+ in the rest of the world. 'Rogue' is scheduled for release on June 8.
