While not much else is known about McHale’s characters arc on the show, he’s sure to have scenes with Katey Sagal, who tweeted a photo of her and McHale on July 12.

“Working with a handsome stranger. Yeow! Lucky girl. Love my job,” she tweeted.

Season 5 of Sons of Anarchy, which premieres in September, will focus on Jax (Charlie Hunnam) as he tries to head up the motorcycle club after ousting his step-father Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman) as president.

McHale and the cast of Sons of Anarchy are both invading Comic-Con this week. McHale attended the Community panel on Friday, and Sons of Anarchy will have a panel on Sunday afternoon.
