Toks Olagundoye has joined the cast of Castle as a new series regular, EW has learned.

Olagundoye’s casting comes amid big changes over at Castle in its eighth season. In addition to Penny Johnson Jerald not returning, the show has added two new co-showrunners, Terence Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley.
