I can say that, after a low-key couple of years, the former "Emergency!" star's life is about to get a little more ... complicated.

He's booked for a supporting role in the upcoming USA series "Complications," the newest offering from Matt Nix, who created the network's biggest in-house hit, "Burn Notice." Needless to say, then, expectations are high.

That makes the waiting even harder, as USA has refused so far to announce a premiere date as of press time.

The Strain, on FX

In this new episode, the four survivors begin to experience strange symptoms. Nora (Mía Maestro) and Eph (Corey Stoll) attempt to quarantine them, but a disinformation campaign creates roadblocks for them at every turn.

Jason Momoa's star has been consistently rising in recent years.

He had a somewhat inauspicious introduction as a regular in the last two seasons of the increasingly laughable drama "Baywatch" from 1999 to 2001. Things heated up for him about 10 years later, though, with his role on "Game of Thrones," the most talked-about series on TV, as well as the lead in the high-profile "Conan the Barbarian" reboot (2011).
