This fall on The Originals, it’s Klaus Mikaelson vs… Logan Echolls?

Former Veronica Mars star Jason Dohring has landed a recurring role on the CW drama’s third season, per The Hollywood Reporter, playing a good-natured — but also very determined — detective named Will Kinney. He’ll first appear in the Season 3 premiere (Oct. 8, 9/8c).

Will, who gradually becomes more aware of New Orleans’ supernatural goings-on as the season progresses, is one of several new faces arriving this fall. As TVLine previously reported, fans will also be introduced to two calculating vampires named Lucien and Aurora.
