It's been a hell of a long time since we've seen the great John Travolta on the small screen, a whole thirty five years to be exact. His last show was something called 'Welcome Back, Kotter', and sure then he became a bigwig movie star dancing his way around Hollywood.

He will make his return in the upcoming TV series about the OJ Simpson trial where he'll play one of Simpson's most famous defence lawyers, Robert Shapiro.

'American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson' will be made by screenwriter Ryan Murphy, who is the man behind hit shows Glee, Nip/Tuck and American Horror Story, to name a few.

Cuba Gooding Jr. has already been cast as O.J. Simpson, while David Schwimmer will play Robert Kardashian and Sarah Paulson will be Marcia Clark.

The series is set to premiere later in 2015.
