Series creator and showrunner Jill Soloway revealed at the 2016 GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 2 about the former Olympian's casting, reported Aceshowbiz.
Calling Jenner's casting "a dream come true," Soloway said, "We are all part of the same community. A lot of the transwomen who work on our show are also in her show 'I Am Cait'."
Soloway kept details of Jenner's character under wraps, but teased that there would be "lots of crossover. Lots of friends" in the upcoming season.
A Golden Globe-winning series, "Transparent", centres on Jeffrey Tambor's Maura Pfefferman (born Morton Pfefferman), a retired professor of political science who finally opens up to her family about always identifying as a woman.
The role earned Tambor a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for lead actor in comedy series. The show was renewed for a third season by Amazon in June 2015, months before the second season premiere in December.
