Bradley Whitford, a well-known TV actor, is set to guest star on an upcoming episode of the hit series Law and Order: SVU.

"OMG, Bradley Whitford is joining the cast of Law and Order: SVU and we can't contain our excitement!" That's the sentiment of fans everywhere, as the big news of the West Wing alum's upcoming guest spot on the beloved NBC procedural drama broke.

Whitford, who previously guest-starred as a TV producer in a season 15 episode in 2014, will be back on the show as a professor with early onset dementia who confesses to a murder.

While details about the storyline are being kept under wraps, fans are excited to see how the Handmaid's Tale actor will bring this character to life. And with Mariska Hargitay ( aka Olivia Benson) directing the episode, we can expect some serious drama.

The buzz on social media is real, with fans taking to Instagram to express their excitement for Whitford's return to the show. "I've been a fan of his for years and can't wait to see what he'll bring to the role!" wrote one fan. Another said, "I love when they reuse actors on SVU, it just makes the show that much better, like Easter eggs hunting but for familiar faces!"

Looks like fans are ready for a Bradley Whitford episode and it's going to air on February 23rd, so mark your calendars, Law and Order fans!
