The post included a brief video in which McLean said the guest appearance was a dream come true for him since he watched the show with his grandmother when he was growing up.

"I hope I made you proud, Grandma!" he said.

He did not say if he is playing himself or a character. It is also unclear when his episode will air.

McLean, 43, previously acted in the 2016 boy-band horror-western, Dead 7, and lent his voice to animated characters in The Lion Guard and The Bravest Knight. He also competed on Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars last year.
