John Noble, who guest starred in the last season of The Good Wife, is set to make a return with Season 5, according to an exclusive report by TVGuide.

In the last season, John Noble (Fringe) guest starred on the show as Matthew Ashbaugh, in the episode 'Death of a Client.' Ashbaugh was one Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) eccentric clients who was murdered. Ashbaugh's parts are played out as flashbacks in that episode. Kalinda Sharma (Archie Punjabi) helps solve the crime. There is no telling about how Noble will appear in the fifth season but the episode he will feature in is scheduled to air in the first half of the season.

In the past, when Noble had expressed keen interest in returning to the show, Good Wife co-creators Robert and Michelle King joked that they'd bring Noble back as his character's twin brother.

In other related news, Marguiles reached a settlement with her former managers -- who had sued her for over half a million in commision fees -- on Aug. 28. according to a Deadline report. The case had been in the court for over a year. "The lawsuit involving our clients has been tentatively resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties," the lawyers said in a short joint statement.

Noble is the latest addition to a host of high-profile guest stars lined-up to feature in Season 5: Talia Balsam will be playing a political reporter on the show and Melissa George will portray Governor Florrick's in-house ethics counsel. America Ferrera, Gary Cole, Jeffrey Tambor and Carrie Preston will also be returning to the show.

The fifth season of The Good Wife will premiere on Sept. 29 on CBS.
