According to Deadline, Luckinbill has been added as a series regular to the drama, which follows the personal and professional life of Gemma, a ruthless divorce attorney in Dallas. Gemma's life begins to unravel when her emotionally damaged, love-addicted sister (Charity Wakefield) resurfaces, triggering self-destructive tendencies and exposing long-hidden family secrets.
The actor, who's married to Amelia Heinle (Victoria Newman) in real life, will play the part of Oliver, Gemma's trophy fianc who possesses both a preppy trust fund and classic good looks. He would be detestable if he weren't such a nice guy.
