We were pretty bummed when The CW didn't renew our favorite witchy drama, "The Secret Circle," for a second season. But it looks like at least one star will cast his spell in a brand-new role.

Chris Zylka, whom "TSC" fans will surely recognize as Cassie's neighbor Jake Armstrong, has joined the cast of "American Horror Story" for its second season. An achievement, girlfriend Lucy Hale couldn't help but celebrate on Twitter today.

Congratulations to my favorite boy landing a role on my favorite show. @ChrisZylka & American horror story=tv gold

We caught up with the actor at last night's "The Amazing Spider-Man" premiere (he plays bully Flash Thompson in the film), where Chris himself was breaking the news. "My dear friend and someone who has recently become a boss of mine, Ryan Murphy, is letting me announce tonight that I'm joining the cast of 'American Horror Story' next season, which I was so stoked about 'cause I'm a huge fan of the show," he told us.

Chris couldn't divulge much about his role but did say this: "It could get pretty creepy." We would expect nothing less, Chris. Congrats!

Until next time, Crushers, have a lovely weekend and Tweet Dreams!
