“The Good Fight” sets February premiere date on CBS All Access
“The Good Fight,” the Christine Baranski-led spinoff of “The Good Wife,” will now be the first big scripted premiere for the CBS All Access streaming service when it debuts early next year.
The new series will premiere simultaneously on CBS and CBS All Access on Sunday, Feb. 19, with all subsequent episodes set to debut exclusively on the streaming video service. New episodes will be released every Sunday.
“CBS All Access has built tremendous momentum in the past year -- passing 1 million subscribers, launching our first original with ‘Big Brother: Over the Top’ and, most recently, bringing live ‘NFL on CBS’ programming to the service,” CBS Interactive president and COO Marc DeBevoise said in a statement.
“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.”
“The Good Fight” picks up a year after the finale of “The Good Wife” and follows Diane Lockhart (Baranski) as she heads to a Chicago law firm after “an enormous financial scam” wipes out her savings.
The series also features Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Erica Tazel, Delroy Lindo, Sarah Steele, Paul Guilfoyle, Bernadette Peters and Justin Bartha.
