Josh Charles lives! Well, we've known he's been alive, but he's been absent from our TVs in a regular capacity—save for some Inside Amy Schumer appearances—since leaving The Good Wife in bloody blaze of glory in 2014. Now the Emmy nominee is heading to the past for a gig on Showtime's Masters of Sex, E! News has learned.

Charles, who romanced Julianna Margulies as our beloved Will Gardner of The Good Wife, will play Daniel Logan, a "self-made businessman working in the scent industry." His character seeks out Masters (Michael Sheen) and Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) for their desire expertise. His relationship with them will become complicated. Well, shoot.

Charles' role is a guest gig.

Charles was a series regular on The Good Wife before exiting midway through season five. He cited a desire to do different projects, but he's returned to direct episodes and even provided his voice for an episode that went inside Alicia Florrick's (Margulies) head.

Charles will also be seen in Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. Masters of Sex returns July 12. Wet Hot American Summer will also hit Netflix this summer. You know what that means?

It's the summer of Josh Charles, everybody!

EW first reported the casting.
