 From werewolf to witch!

The Originals has cast Teen Wolf fan favorite Daniel Sharman in a major season two role, E! News has exclusively learned. Go on, take a moment to process the awesomeness of this casting news. We'll wait. Got all your squealing out? OK, let's move on! 

So who will Sharman, who is also known for his work in feature films such as Immortals and The Last Days of  Edgar Harding, be playing on the CW hit when it returns for its sophomore season? Kaleb, the handsome, devilish and charming new witch in the French Quarter's coven. 

Intent on wreaking havoc, wooing women and causing as much chaos as possible, Kaleb has been deeply wounded by a horrific family upbringing and covers his emotional bruises with a wicked sense of humor, as well as a wicked temper. When you're on his good side, there's no better party. Get on his bad side? Well, you'll regret it.

Also known for his time on the UK series Masterpiece: Inspector Lewis, Sharman is set to make his debut in the season two premiere. 

Sharman's new gig on The Originals reunites him with Joseph Morgan, as the British actors both starred in the 2011 hit film Immortals

After Teen Wolf's season three finale, we exclusively reported that Sharman would not be returning, with executive producer Jeff Davis revealing Sharman asked to be written off the show.

"He specifically asked that we not kill off Isaac, so that he could have the chance to return. He said he loved the role so much that he wanted to be able to come back if there was a chance," Davis explained. "But he was at a position where he wanted to stretch his creative wings and I said to him, ‘Well, if we can't convince you to come back, we'll definitely leave the door open for you.'"

The Originals' season two finale airs Tuesday, May 13 at 8 p.m. on the CW.
