“Boomtown” star Neal McDonough is the newest resident of Wisteria Lane.

The actor, who has also appeared in “Band of Brothers” and “Medical Investigation,” has joined the cast of the ABC dramedy for its upcoming fifth season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

As a regular, McDonough will play a new white-collar resident who may serve as a love interest for Nicolette Sheridan’s Edie Britt.

He won’t be the only new character stirring things up — Gale Harold (”Queer As Folk”) has also signed on for a recurring role.

Harold was glimpsed in the flash-forward season four finale as Ken, the mysterious man who kisses Susan Meyer (Teri Hatcher) after she returns home.

As shown in the final moments of that finale, season five of “Desperate Housewives” will take place five years into the future.
