Meagan Good will tempt Hanky Moody (David Duchovny) in the next season of Showtime's melancholic comedy, "Californication."

Good has signed on for the 5th season and will be seen in eight episodes as Kali, a sexy singer who turns on Hank but who also has a connection with her mentor, the hip hop mogul (RZA) who hires Hank to write the screenplay for his new film. Production on the 5th season begins this May.

Duchovny took the Golden Globe award portraying Hank, a hedonistic novelist who struggles to raise his teenage daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin), while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone).

The new season will answer questions from last month’s cliff-hanging season finale, including whether Hank, Karen and Becca will finally be able to live as a family, if Charlie (Evan Handler) and Marcy’s (Pamela Adlon) new baby will help reunite the now-divorced couple and, especially, to where, exactly, Hank was driving off into the sunset.

Acting since she was four years old, Good's most recent guest star turn as the adulterous wife of the team owner on the hit BET series “The Game” earned major buzz among fans of the show.

She has three major releases coming out in the next few weeks: she will be seen in the highly anticipated film Jumping the Broom opposite Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and Paula Patton; starring in and producing the film Video Girl; and also starring in 35 and Ticking, opposite Nicole Ari Parker and Kevin Hart. .
