Though the second half of Teen Wolf’s third season does not begin until January, the popular MTV series is already in the process of casting pivotal new roles.

One of these is Barrow, a known killer, who will be played by Doug Jones. The introduction of his character indicates that the perpetual danger is nowhere near over for the residents of Beacon Hills.

Jones can currently be seen on TNT’s Falling Skies. He has also appeared in the “Hellboy” franchise and has a number of films currently in the works. His first Teen Wolf appearance will take place in episode 15, titled “Galvanize”, TVLine reports.

Teen Wolf’s midseason finale airs next Monday, August 19 at 10 PM; the season will pick up again on January 6, 2014.
