Melissa Gilbert is returning to ABC.
The Little House on the Prairie alum has boarded ABC's midseason drama Secrets & Lies, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The drama, based on the Australian series starring Martin Henderson, centers on a father (Ryan Phillippe) who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a young boy when he finds the body. Juliette Lewis co-stars in the drama from ABC Studios and Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment.
Gilbert will play Lisa Daly, a loving and hardworking mom taking care of her two sons on her own. Although the character can be tightly wound, her inherent kindness lends to her being a very good nurse and mother even in the face of the difficulty of dealing with a son with autism and another son, with his own issues.
