Scoop! Keitel Lands on Mars as Homicide Boss

Last week at press tour, the producers of ABC's Life on Mars revealed they were after a "name" to top off their tweaked cast. Well, they got one.

This means that whoever the new character is, he/she (and we suspect its a he) wont be appearing until later in the season.
