"The Good Wife" cast just keeps growing: Amanda Peet will appear in multiple Season 4 episodes of the popular CBS drama.

Peet's character will be a new gal pal for Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), according to CBS. Peet will play a military lawyer who hires Alicia after she sues a contract worker for an attempted sexual assault. Should Kalinda/Alicia fans be worried?

Peet, who recently starred on NBC's late show "Bent," joins a growing list of Season 4 recurring actors. Kristin Chenoweth will play a political reporter who is covering Peter Florrick's (Chris Noth) campaign, Marc Warren will play Kalinda's estranged -- and dangerous -- husband Nick, Maura Tierney will play a rich Democratic party influencer and Nathan Lane has been tapped to play a bank manager assigned to cut costs at Lockhart/Gardner.

"The Good Wife" returns to CBS this fall on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
