Actress Katie Holmes is making her return to television - in a guest role on the TV show Eli Stone.

Holmes is reportedly set to guest star on the comedy series when it returns to the airwaves this autumn.

According to celebrity tabloid US Weekly, Holmes is set to play an attorney in her one-episode stint on the show. However a source denies Tom Cruise will guest-star alongside his wife.

Eli Stone executive producer Greg Berlanti has previously collaborated with Holmes on the set of Dawson's Creek - where she rose to fame for her role as Joey Potter.
