Fillion, 36, will play Adam, a gynecologist and the much younger second husband to Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delaney) who moves to the neighbourhood from Chicago. Just like all Desperate characters, Fillion's fictional family has a secret dark past which will unravel as the season progresses. Of Fillion and Delaney's characters, series creator Marc Cherry told TV Guide, "They had to leave Chicago because something unsavory happened in Adam's professional life."
Fillion joins the cast after his Fox series Drive was cancelled in April. Only four of the six produced episodes were aired. His breakout role was that of Captain Malcolm Reynolds in the cult hit (and unjustly cancelled) Firefly, along with its film adaptation Serenity. Fillion's recent small film Waitress, co-starring Keri Russell, was a critical darling.
Desperate Housewives will air in its regular timeslot, Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
