'The Fosters' Season 4 Spoilers: Transgender Actor Signs On For Multiple Episodes, Who Does He Play? [VIDEO]
The latest breakout TV star is joining The Fosters in the fourth season.
Fans might be familiar with Elliot Fletcher, known for his role as Noah on this season of MTV's Faking It. The actor plays the transgender role who competes in the battle of the bands contest; he is now making his way into the Foster world.
On Monday, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Fletcher will be playing Aaron, an enticing and handsome law student who Callie meets in a coffee shop. The actor will make his debut in the July 11 episode and is expected to be in multiple episodes.
It's unclear if Aaron will have a transgender storyline in a similar way that Fletcher's character does in Faking It. But if he's meeting Callie, it gives insight if there will be some kind of romance or not. If there is, it leaves curiosity on Callie's relationship with AJ, something that will be explored in the fourth season.
"You see her really try to mend that relationship, but that's not fully resolved," Maia Mitchell, who plays Callie, revealed to TV Line. "We're going to have to wait until Season 4 for that one."
Mitchell also dished on the death of Jack and how that's been affecting everyone in the family.
"Jude begins a spiritual journey a little bit and considers what happens after death. [He] is much more reflective and internally sad, whereas Callie is gung-ho about it," Mitchell said. "The moms [are] quite interested in how Pearson got another kid in the first place, and they discover that it was through privatization. So their main concern is for Callie and what she's endorsing and that she really understands the full weight of what she's publicly reforming."
The Fosters Season 4 premieres on Monday, June 20 on Freeform.
