Fans of "Gilmore Girls" star Scott Patterson won't have to look far to find the CW veteran this fall.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Patterson has landed a key role in The CW comedy "Aliens in America."

"Aliens in America" focuses on a Wisconsin family who take in a foreign exchange student in an effort to boost the popularity of their 16-year-old son. When he turns out to be a -- heaven forbid -- Muslim, it turns their world asunder.

Patterson will replace original pilot co-star Patrick Breen as the father of the less-than-popular American teen.

For the past seven years, Patterson played diner owner Luke Danes on "Gilmore Girls." The character ended this May's series finale in a liplock with Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham), which left fans of the show happy and Patterson looking for a new gig.

Patterson will be seen on the big screen this fall in "Saw IV."
