"It's been quite fun and, in a way, cathartic to come to work and be able to work on stuff that's so closely related to what's going on," cast member Cush Jumbo (Lucca Quinn) told The Hollywood Reporter.
Meanwhile, a fan favorite from the parent series that "The Good Fight" spun from will be back in the spinoff for season 2. Carrie Preston, who made a mark as the quirky lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni in "The Good Wife," confirmed in an Instagram post that she will be in "The Good Fight" again.
It's not known how long Preston will stick around this time but last year, she appeared in three episodes of "The Good Fight." Fans warm up to her character each time since her first appearance in "The Good Wife" in 2010. Hence, it's not surprising that the Kings keep asking her to return to their show.
"The Good Fight" season 2 will pick up after the arrests of the Rindell family for financial fraud. The Kings, however, revealed that this story arc will quickly wrap up as season 2 will feature new plots and characters.
Leading the legal drama is Christine Baranski (Diane Lockhart) and Rose Leslie (Maia Rindell). The show also stars Delroy Lindo (Adrian Boseman), Sarah Steele (Marissa Gold), Michael Boatman (Julius Cain), Nyambi Nyambi (Jay Dipersia) and Audra McDonald (Liz Lawrence). Season 1 is still streaming on CBS All Access.
