Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Paranormal Activity star Katie Featherston has signed on for a two episode arc on ABC's The River. No mention on what role the actress would be playing on the mysterious supernatural series, which will hit the airwaves sometime midseason.

Scheduled to air eight episodes this season, The River tells the story of an explorer/TV host that disappears in the Amazon and the crew that's sent to try and find him after his emergency beacon goes off. The show stars Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek), Joe Anderson (Across the Universe), and Leslie Hope (24), among others.

Featherston burst onto the scene in 2007's Paranormal Activity, a Blair Witch-ian home video horror movie that showcased a couple dealing with strange happenings in their house. The movie grossed nearly 200 million at the box office and spawned two sequels, including this fall's upcoming Paranormal Activity 3. This will be her first TV credit.

What role do you think Featherston will be playing in The River? How do you think you'll like the show, based on the trailers and clips that have been released? Can a horror series like The River survive on network TV?
