Meloni's True Blood appointment marks his return to the small screen, just months after suddenly departing SVU after 12 seasons.
Though additional details about Meloni's character have yet to be revealed, the actor will fit in well should he have to sex it up alongside stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Meloni often dropped trou during his stint on HBO's prison drama Oz, where he played bisexual inmate Chris Keller.
