CBS has shared new details about their Good Wife spinoff The Good Fight starring Christine Baranski.
‘The Good Fight’ air date
The Good Fight will premiere Sunday, February 19 at 8 PM ET on CBS All Access, the network’s streaming service. To ensure the show gets a big audience, episode 1 will also be airing on CBS TV the same day and time. Future episodes, however, will only be available by subscribing to All Access.
New episodes will be released weekly on Sundays.
According to CBS, “The Good Fight picks up one year after the events of the final broadcast episode of The Good Wife. In the new series, an enormous financial scam has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, Maia Rindell, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart’s savings. Forced out of Lockhart & Lee, they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago’s pre-eminent law firms.”
The Good Fight stars Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Delroy Lindo, Sarah Steele, Paul Guilfoyle, Bernadette Peters, Justin Bartha and Erica Tazel. Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King are showrunners and executive producers on Good Fight, which bodes well for the quality of the spinoff.
CBS will be pushing their All Access hard in the new year. In addition to their Good Wife spinoff, their forthcoming Star Trek series Star Trek: Discovery will be exclusively available on their streaming service, which starts at $5.99 per month.
“CBS All Access has built tremendous momentum in the past year – passing one million subscribers, launching our first original with Big Brother: Over the Top and, most recently, bringing live NFL ON CBS programming to the service,” said Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive in a press release. “We’re continuing this momentum with the upcoming launch of THE GOOD FIGHT which promises to not only deliver more ambitious premium programming for our subscribers but an opportunity for world-class creators like Robert and Michelle King to push the envelope in new ways.”
