Caitlyn Jenner will appear on the next season of “Transparent.” Jill Soloway, the creator and executive producer of the Amazon series, announced the casting at the GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday, according to The Associated Press.

The show follows the tumultuous lives of a 70-year-old transgender woman and her family in Los Angeles. The main character, Maura Pfefferman, is played by the actor Jeffrey Tambor and has featured several transgender actors, including Alexandra Billings, Ian Harvie and Trace Lysette. Ms. Soloway said that Ms. Jenner would begin filming next week. The coming season, the show’s third, is expected to arrive sometime this year.

Ms. Jenner has her own reality show, “I Am Cait,” and appears on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” but she has had very few acting roles throughout her career.

“Transparent” won the GLAAD award on Saturday for comedy series, while “I Am Cait” won for reality show. Lilly Wachowski, the filmmaker formerly known as Andy, in her first public appearance since coming out as transgender, accepted the award for TV movie for “Sense8.”
