TVGuide.com teased the role earlier this month, when series boss Peter Lenkov revealed that the new character "will be there at crime scenes and be a voice in the ME's office."

In other casting news, TVGuide.com has also confirmed that Carol Burnett will reprise her role as McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) aunt in Season 5.

Setton is also known for her roles on The Mindy Project and Gossip Girl.
