John Cho is boarding “The Exorcist.”

Fox announced on Friday that Cho is joining the Season 2 cast of the series based on William Blatty’s 1971 novel.

The co-star of the “Star Trek” franchise will play Andrew Kim, a former child psychologist who runs a foster home on a private island off the coast of Seattle.

When a child under Andrew’s purview succumbs to a dangerous force, Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) and Father Bennett (Kurt Egyiawan) set out to face the villainy head on. 

Cho, who reprised his role as Sulu in 2016’s “Star Trek Beyond,” is also known for roles in the “American Pie” and “Harold & Kumar” film series. He was a co-star on ABC’s “Selfie” and had a recurring role on Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow.”

“The Exorcist” launches Season 2 on Friday, Sept. 29, at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
