CBS All Access Renews 'The Good Fight' For Third Season

CBS All Access has given a third season renewal to its hit original drama series The Good Fight.

"The Good Fight is a perfect example of what we strive for a CBS All Access original series to be: thought-provoking, boundary-pushing and, most of all, incredibly entertaining," said Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President, Original Content, CBS All Access. "We can't wait to see what Robert and Michelle King, their creative team and the incomparable cast will bring to audiences in season three."

The season two finale will be available to stream on Sunday, May 27.

In season two of The Good Fight, the world is going insane, and the Chicago murder rate is on the rise. Amidst the insanity, Diane, Lucca, Maia and the rest of the law firm find themselves under psychological assault when a client at another firm kills his lawyer for overcharging. After a copycat murder, the firm begins to look at its own clients suspiciously. Meanwhile, Diane battles with a new partner at the firm, Liz Reddick-Lawrence (Audra McDonald); Maia becomes tougher after her parents' scandal puts her on trial; and Lucca is brought back into Colin's orbit.

The series, from The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King, stars Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Audra McDonald, Sarah Steele, Justin Bartha, Michael Boatman, Nyambi Nyambi and Delroy Lindo.
