TV's favorite inmate is on the other side of the law now.

"Prison Break's" Wentworth Miller will guest star on the season premiere of "Law & Order: SVU," reports TV Guide magazine.

Miller will play Nate Kendal, an NYPD officer who saves a rape victim and interacts with Det. Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson, both of whom will be back since Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay just signed contracts to return for at least one more season.

So, not to offer an "Prison Break" spoilers -- if you have yet to watch the finale (and why haven't you?) -- but we're very happy to see Miller alive and well and in blue this time around.

"Law & Order: SVU" moves to Wednesdays this fall and premieres on Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

get ride of those two and put him on as the star. Christopher and Misha only care about money, plus Winthworth is much better actor than they are.

great to see he'll be showing up somewhere else. i hope he gets a feature role in another show after this.

I can totally see Miller replacing the Dynamic Duo if they leave. And no, meow, I don't think it's all bout money; YOU try doing a series for 10 years and see if YOU don't want to quit and/or try something else. Got your head up your @$$ as usual, I see.

Miller would be great as a regular, but he's probably got his heart set on doing movies, at which he would also probably succeed.
