Callum's arrival will come after Kylie seeks him out for the first time in years, wanting answers about their son Max's medical condition following his ADHD diagnosis.
The ex-convict is billed as a character with "good-looking charm and a dark edge", who soon lures Kylie back into her old life.
Speaking of his new role, Ward commented: "I am delighted to have been given this unique opportunity to join such a brilliant and much-loved show. It is a great honour and it will be a professional challenge to play bad boy Callum. I'm very much looking forward to working closely with Paula."
Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn explained: "Sean is already pulling off that holy grail of creating a character that, whilst dark and dangerous, also has a truly infectious charm and he's going to be a fantastic character."
