Elijah Wood is headed to Yellowjackets.
The Lord of the Rings alum has booked a season-long guest role on the second season of the Showtime Emmy-nominated drama series.
Wood will play the role of Walter, a dedicated citizen detective who will challenge present-day Misty (Emmy nominee Christina Ricci) in ways that she won’t see coming.
The actor becomes the third new face to join the show’s present-day storyline and the first to not be playing an adult version of a pre-existing character. Earlier this week, Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi) signed on to play the adult version of Courtney Eaton’s Lottie Matthews, while Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) was previously announced to play the grown-up Van (Liv Hewson in the 1990s storyline).
