Bergen will play the mother of Lisa Cuddy, the girlfriend of the brilliant diagnostician Gregory House, and will have a recurring role, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The five-time Emmy winner hasn’t made a television appearance since ABC’s Boston Legal stopped airing in 2008.
Bergen, 64, will appear on more than one episode and the multi-story arc is slated to hit the small screen in January.
The seventh season of House will have a slew of other guest appearances, with Joan of Arcadia's Amber Tamblyn appearing on the show as a doctor and mentee to House. Matthew Lillard, Dylan Baker, Jennifer Grey, and Amy Irving will also be making appearances at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
