"Star Trek" album George Takei just signed up to star on Season 2 of "The Terror," which will be set in a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II.

In addition to appearing as "Yamato-san, a former fishing captain and community elder," AMC announced that the actor will be serving as a consultant this season.

The 81-year-old Takei has often talked about his experiences living in a wartime internment camp as a young boy. He also produced the stage play "Allegiance" based on his childhood experiences in a camp. A film of the play was released in 2016.

Season 2 of the AMC series will be about "an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific." Production begins next month in Vancouver.

Announced cast for Season 2 includes Naoko Mori.

“Manos sucias (Dirty Hands)” director Josef Kubota Wladyka will direct the first two episodes.

The season will air sometime in 2019.
