America Ferrera is heading to The Good Wife for three episodes, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Also appearing in Ferrara's first episode is Jerry Stiller, as a judge who has a habit of nodding off in court.

"It'll be fantastic to see [Ferrera] take on a completely different role — especially one that puts her across from Alan Cumming," Robert King, co-creator and executive producer, said. "And Jerry Stiller is our dream judge. It was great when we got to stop saying, 'We need a Jerry Stiller-type in the role' and just got Jerry Stiller."

The Good Wife, currently in its second season, airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS.
