The 27-year-old actor - who is most known for his work on supernatural drama 'Teen Wolf' - has signed up to the TV series remake of the cult classic 1987 film, which starred Jason Patric and Corey Haim.

According to Deadline, Tyler will be joined by 'Kingdom's Kiele Sanchez, 'Still Star-Crossed's Medalion Rahimi, and 'Valley of the Boom's Dakota Shapiro in the remake, which is being penned by 'Scandal's Heather Mitchell and directed by 'Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke.

'The Lost Boys' update - which will air on the CW Television Network - will tell the story of two brothers Michael (Tyler) and the yet-to-be cast Sam Everson who move to Santa Carla with their mother Lucy (Kiele) following the death of their father.

Medalion will play Stella, a stand worker who bonds with Posey's character and her new bad-boy vampire boyfriend will be played by Dakota.

Things take an unexpected turn as the two siblings discover that their new town a secret underworld of vampires.

This is the second time that Tyler will take on a role based in the supernatural world, after his hugely popular run as Scott McCall on 'Teen Wolf'.

It's also a return to the vampire genre for director Catherine Hardwicke, after helming the first movie in the 'Twilight' saga back in 2008.

Meanwhile, Tyler previously said he would also like to work more behind the camera and hone his directing skills.

He said: "I feel like, as a camera operator and a director, you can be really creative and tell a whole story.

"So, I definitely want to direct more. I really want my career to go down that path, at some point."
