The return of Felicity Huffman has just been announced!

The

Desperate Housewives

star will star in the series spin-off

The Good Doctor

.

She will play the role of Janet Stewart, a lawyer, in

The Good Lawyer

, which airs on ABC on March 6.



After having triumphed in the role of Lynette Scavo with Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, this time she will be alongside Kennedy McMann who can be seen in

Nancy Drew

.

Felicity Huffman had been announced to star in another series for ABC in 2020, but that has yet to see the light of day.

Sentence paid

It will therefore be his first real project since his stay in prison in the case of fraud at university entrances.

She pleaded guilty to paying bribes to influential people to allow her children to go to university without taking the entrance exam.

Felicity Huffman served 11 days, was sentenced to 250 hours of community service and was placed on probation for a year.

It is in any case a return “home” for the wife of William H. Macy, since

The Good Lawyer

is broadcast on ABC.

The channel was the broadcaster of the series that made her a star:

Sports Night

,

Desperate Housewives

and

American Crime

.

It is also the series of Marc Cherry which allowed him to win the Emmy Award for best actress and several prestigious nominations including three at the Golden Globes.
