*The sixth and final season of the Emmy-award-winning series “The Good Fight” premiered Thursday, Sept. 8, with 10 all-new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays, exclusively on Paramount+.
The cast includes Christine Baranski, John Slattery, Sarah Steele, Michael Boatman, Nyambi Nyambi, Charmaine Bingwa, with Audra McDonald and Andre Braugher. Alan Cumming and Carrie Preston guest star.
Per the network’s press release, this season, Diane (Baranski) feels like she’s going crazy, struggling with an uneasy sense of déjà vu, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, to voting rights, to Cold War aggressions returning. Meanwhile, the lawyers of Reddick & Associates wonder if the violence that they see all around them points to an impending civil war.
“The Good Fight” is a spin-off from the original series “The Good Wife,” and has masterfully explored everything from racism and hate crimes, to extremist violence and national threats, pushing creative boundaries, and taking Hollywood by storm with its bold, signature and innovative content, per press release.
Over the course of the series, “The Good Fight” has boasted an incredible array of special guest performances from powerhouses such as Wanda Sykes, Michael J. Fox, Tituss Burgess, Jane Lynch, CCH Pounder, Mike Colter, Ron Canada, Frankie Faison, Obba Babatundé, Lorraine Toussaint, Cheryl Hines, Dylan Baker, Wayne Brady and more, per press release.
