Things are about to get even more dramatic in Charmed, as two new characters will soon be heading to Hilltowne to stir things up for The Charmed Ones.

According to Entertainment Weekly, former Pretty Little Liars star Tyler Blackburn will guest star in an upcoming episode of the CW series.

Tyler, who played bad boy Caleb Rivers in Liars, is set to appear as a soul-sucking demon called Viralis.

Dangerous Viralis has a cult following and the power to see into the depths of the human soul, and he lures his victims to him by promising them their greatest desires.

Oh, and if you're worried that Tyler's guest spot on Charmed means bad things for his role on Roswell, New Mexico, then don't be, as Tyler himself has taken to Twitter to stress there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Viralis isn't the only visitor in town either, as former The Originals star Leah Pipes, who played Camille O'Connell in the vampire drama, has also landed a role in Charmed.

She'll star as a new recurring character named Fiona Callahan, who is Elder Charity’s younger sister and Harry’s former charge.

Witch Fiona, who has a very cryptic power, turns up in Hilltowne after years spent in Tartarus under suspicious circumstances – and her release could be a blessing or a curse for The Charmed Ones.

It sounds like Macy, Mel and Maggie aren't going to be getting a rest any time soon then, particularly as a new batch of episodes was recently ordered.

Charmed airs on The CW in the US and E4 in the UK.
