Jeffrey Dean Morgan is keeping busy.

On top of landing a series regular role in the current second season of EXTANT, Morgan also landed a series regular gig on the upcoming seventh season of THE GOOD WIFE.

THE GOOD WIFE: Jeffrey Dean Morgan Joins as a Series Regular

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is joining THE GOOD WIFE season 7 as a series regular, according to EW.com.

“We’ve loved and admired Jeffrey Dean Morgan for years, and we were thrilled to hear that Julianna [Margulies (Alicia)] did too, so it was a no-brainer to ask him to join our troupe,” THE GOOD WIFE creators Robert and Michelle King told EW.

According to the site, Morgan — who is currently appearing in the second season of EXTANT, and is probably best known for his guest arcs on SUPERNATURAL and GREY’S ANATOMY — will play Alex, a “calm, experienced hourly investigator” whom Alicia hires.

EXTANT: Halle Berry, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and EPs Preview Season 2

EXTANT season 2 is returning this summer, and there are changes in store. Among them? Jeffrey Dean Morgan has joined the cast (season 1 male lead, Goran Visnjic (John), will be back in a “limited capacity”) as JD, in a role which was written for him.

“I wasn’t familiar with the show…I hadn’t seen any of the episodes from last year, and they didn’t want me to watch them,” Morgan told reporters during a panel for the show, noting that this season is very much a reboot. However, the idea of working with EXTANT star Halle Berry (Molly) every day was “so exciting for me as an actor…this is a new little jaunt for me into this world.”

As for the show itself, the writers have set out to tell a complete story in the upcoming season season.
