The announcement was made by the show’s creator Jill Soloway at the GLAAD Awards last night in Los Angeles.
She said Jenner will appear alongside Jeffrey Tambor in scenes which will start filming later this month.
The third season of the series will start filming later in April.
Jenner’s reality TV series ‘I Am Cait’ tied in the scripted reality category for the GLAAD Awards last night with I am Jazz, which follows 15-year-old Jazz Jennings.
She tweeted a photo of herself alongside Transparent star Judith Light, which read “So excited”.
Transparent also won at the GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series.
