The Good Fight Season One Press Pack

It’s one year after the events of The Good Wife, and Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) has had enough. Watching Donald Trump’s inauguration on TV convinces her that it’s time to get the hell out of Dodge. She puts a down payment on a house in Provence, resigns from her law firm and prepares to write her memoirs from France... But life is rarely that easy.

As Diane is leaving the law, her goddaughter, Maia Rindell (Rose Leslie), is beginning her career as a first year associate at Diane’s firm. But suddenly an enormous financial scandal – think Madoff times 10 – caused by Maia’s parents, Lenore and Henry Rindell (Bernadette Peters and Paul Guilfoyle), brings down liberal Chicago.

Maia is the object of universal disgust, and after a glorious career, Diane finds herself with nothing. The Rindell financial scandal has left Diane broke, and her old firm refuses to take her back. It is only the kindness of Diane’s long-time legal rival, Adrian Boseman (Delroy Lindo) – who invites her to join Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad, his all African American firm – that provides Diane hope. She convinces him to bring Maia on board as well, despite the skepticism of his partner, Barbara Kolstad (Erica Tazel).

At Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad, Diane finds other familiar faces: Alicia Florrick’s former partner Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) – who is facing challenges of her own, including Colin Morrello (Justin Bartha), the state’s attorney’s office’s rising star – and Marissa Gold (Sarah Steele).

Despite finding themselves at the bottom, Diane and Maia are up for a fight – and things will get nasty.

The Good Fight will air on More4 this March.
