'The Good Wife' Season 6 Cast News: First 2 Episodes Titles Revealed, 'Frasier' Alum to Join Show
The season 6 premiere episode of "The Good Wife" is a week away, and fans will be happy to know that there are some last-minutes spoilers before the show officially begins.
This year's season premiere episode is called "The Line." Could it be referring to a line that is going to be crossed by Alicia (Julianna Margulies)?
"Alicia is adamant about her refusal to run for State's Attorney despite Eli's attempts to persuade her to launch a campaign. Meanwhile, as Diane (Christine Baranski) considers joining Florrick/ Agos as partner, an internal crisis threatens to destroy the firm," the synopsis reads.
CBS has released a season 6 preview showing Eli asking Alicia to run for office, and she is seen telling him several times that she has no interest in running. However, this doesn't mean that she won't be changing her mind.
The drama continues in the second episode, titled "Trust Issues." According to TVLine, the episode will prominently feature new cast member Taye Diggs in his role as Lockhart/ Gardner equity partner Dean Levine-Wilkins.
Meanwhile, a new character is going to be making waves on the show. Zap2it reports that "Frasier" alum David Hyde Pierce will be joining the cast as a "highly respected cable news legal commentator who is so disgusted with the corruption and murder rate in Chicago that he decides to run for office in order to affect change." This will be Pierce's first TV role since "Frasier" wrapped in 2004.
Show runners Robert and Michelle King were ecstatic about Pierce joining the cast of "The Good Wife."
"We couldn't be more thrilled and flattered that David's making 'The Good Wife' his first television role since 'Frasier'. We're tremendous fans of his dramatic skills as well as his comedy," they said in a statement.
"The Good Wife" season 6 premieres on Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
