It's the news many fans have been waiting for, Raúl is to return to Law and Order: SVU as Rafael Barba. 

He was seen on set last week, with several photos and video clips surfacing on social media but the rumours have now been confirmed by the show in a tweet last night

He will star in the 4th episode of the new season, 'Sightless in a Savage Land', but this time will be on the other side of the courtroom as a defense attorney! 

He takes on a client being prosecuted by now-ADA Carisi (Peter Scanavino), and the ensuing courtroom drama causes serious conflict between Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay) SVU squad and Chief Garland (Demore Barnes).

The episode will air on Thursday, Jan 7 at 9pm ET on NBC
