Nearly four years after serving time behind bars for her involvement in the college admissions scandal, Felicity Huffman will soon be making her return to television.
The actress, 60, will have a guest role on an episode of The Good Doctor, according to Yahoo Entertainment. The episode will serve as an introduction to the new spin-off show, The Good Lawyer.
Huffman's episode will air on March 6 and marks the first time she has appeared on television since her brief prison stint in 2019.
According to Yahoo Entertainment, Huffman has been cast as Janet Stewart, an intelligent and dry-witted lawyer.
Her character previously represented Dr. Aaron Glassman, played by Richard Schiff.
The upcoming episode will see Huffman's character work under Joni DeGroot, an attorney with obsessive compulsive disorder, after they are both hired by doctors in the show.
Huffman has kept a low profile ever since landing at the center of the college admissions scandal in 2019.
Huffman served 11 days in a low-level Dublin, California prison in October 2019 after being charged along with 30 other parents for paying money to admissions scandal mastermind William 'Rick' Singer to help her daughter Sophia get into college.
Utilizing his services to boost her SAT score, Huffman was subsequently caught for paying to have one of Singer's associates doctor her standardized test without her knowledge to give her a 'fair shot' at university acceptance.
'I am deeply ashamed of what I have done. At the end of the day I had a choice to make. I could have said, no,' she told the judge.
She was additionally ordered to pay a $30,000 fine while serving almost the entirety of her two week sentence which many deemed merely a slap on the wrist.
Also charged in the scandal was Full House star Lori Loughlin who served a two month prison sentence for paying $500,000 to get daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella into USC.
Rick Singer, who masterminded the operation, was recently sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.
Since the scandal, Huffman signed on to star in a TV series based on the true story of Susan Savage, a woman who became the owner of a minor league baseball team after her husband died and asked her not to sell them.
She also starred in Ava DuVernay's limited series When They See Us, which she filmed prior to her 2019 sentencing. It was one of several projects she appeared in which were released after the controversy came to light.
