Cougar Town is welcoming a teen pop sensation when it returns for its sixth and final season: Cody Simpson!

E! News has exclusively learned that the Australian singer will be guest-starring on the TBS hit's upcoming season, and he's playing a mini-Beady Eyes—sort of!

In the episode, Simpson will play Pete, a high school student who bears a very strong resemblance to Grayson (Josh Hopkins) in both looks and behavior, in his acting debut. Tread carefully, Jules (Courteney Cox). Tread very carefully!

Simpson teased fans with his upcoming appearance, posting a dapper photo on Twitter with the caption, "Sparked a little acting flame."

Aside from his career as a singer, Simpson, 17, competed on the last season of Dancing With the Stars, and recently graduated from high school at the top of his class.

For the final season, the cul-de-sac crew will be down a member as original cast member Brian Van Holt (aka Bobby Cobb) will be leaving the series in the season six premiere, per TV Line

Cougar Town returns in early 2015.
