Arden Cho will be joining the MTV hit series in a very heavy recurring role for multiple episodes when season 3B kicks off on Jan. 6, 2014.

A new student at Beacon Hills High who is of Korean and Japanese descent, Cho’s yet-to-be-named character’s arrival to town brings a unique new history and a new threat steeped in Asian mythology to Teen Wolf. Translation: She’ll be a pretty big deal in season 3B!

During Teen Wolf’s panel at Comic-Con, executive producer Jeff Davis revealed that season 3B will have “a heavy Asian influence,” one that he’s “excited” will take the show in a new direction.

“We’re heading into a new mythology based on the Kitsune myth, which some people might know a little bit about,” he shared. “It is a very, very fascinating Japanese shapeshifter myth about the were-fox and the trickster spirit.”

Cho has made guest appearances on Pretty Little Liars and Rizzoli & Isles.

Teen Wolf airs Monday at 10 p.m. on MTV.
