Drew Fuller, who returns as a regular cast member on The WB’s witch drama Charmed in its upcoming sixth season, told SCI FI Wire that he’s happy to be the new guy on the block. Fuller’s character, Chris Perry, appeared in last season’s finale and returns as the new Whitelighter for the Halliwell sisters, played by Rose McGowan, Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs.

“It’s really amazing,” Fuller said in an interview during The WB’s fall press preview. “Because the show is established, … I’ve been given this gift of not having to worry about ‘Is the show going to get picked up? And what night is it going to be on? Are we going to get an audience?’ This show is getting better every year. The ratings are going higher. … So it’s actually been the best blessing.”

Fuller (who last appeared in The WB’s short-lived martial-arts drama Black Sash) added, “I am the new kid. But at the same time, it’s like, that’s never bothered me. I love going into new situations where I can meet new people and … form strong bonds.”

As for his character, Fuller remained coy. “I’m very mysterious,” he said. “They’re keeping me shrouded in secrecy the entire time. And I’m going to slowly reveal, throughout the season, my character and my motives. So sometimes I’m going to be really good. And sometimes I’m going to be evil. And it’s all for the greater good of my purpose that I’m serving. And I’m the Cheshire Cat of Charmed.” Charmed returns to its regular timeslot at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Sundays, starting in the fall.
