Raising Hope is just scooping up all the Hollywood actors for its third season.

In addition to Melanie Griffith joining the show as Sabrina's (Shannon Woodward) mother,  there's new young boy toy coming to town. And it's none other than former That '70s Show star Wilmer Valderrama!

Melanie Griffith coming to Raising Hope

Most recently appearing on the short-lived—but fantastic—NBC drama Awake, Valderrama will be in at least three episodes in Raising Hope's third season.

And he's not just a pretty face. Valderrama will be playing the love interest for Griffith's character, Tamara. Add Griffith's real-life mother, Tippi Hedren, to the Raising Hope recurring-role roster and hijinks will surely ensue.

Raising Hope returns to Fox on Oct. 2 at 8 p.m.
