Two Lost vets are staging a frightening reunion: Harold Perrineau, who portrayed Michael Dawson on the ABC drama, has been cast in Epix’s contemporary sci-fi horror series From, which reteams him with Lost director/executive producer Jack Bender, our sister site Deadline reports.

The show is about a town in middle America that traps all those who enter — and whose residents fear terrifying creatures that come out of the surrounding forest when the sun goes down. Perrineau will play the town’s sheriff, who searches for a way to escape this seemingly inescapable nightmare. Bender — who helmed 39 Lost installments — is set to direct the first four episodes of From.

Perrineau’s other TV credits include The Rookie, Claws, Star and Constantine.
