Add Colton Haynes to the cast of American Horror Story.

Showrunner Ryan Murphy announced Tuesday that the Arrow and Teen Wolf alum — currently seen onscreen in Rough Night — has joined the seventh season of the FX anthology.

Season seven, which will likely bow in its standard October period, will be an election-themed cycle, though Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are not currently on the show’s ballot. The season begins the day after the election. Character and additional plot details are being kept under wraps.

Haynes, who is new to the franchise, joins fellow newbies to the anthology including Billie Lourd and Billy Eichner. Returning castmembers include Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters.

This marks Haynes’ second collaboration with Murphy. He also appeared in a few episodes of Fox’s Scream Queens.

Haynes is repped by UTA and Ziffren Brittenham.
