Even as the first season kicks off on CBS, we don’t have to worry whether The Good Wife TV show is cancelled or renewed for season two. This spinoff of The Good Wife originated on CBS All Access (the paid subscription streaming service) back in February of 2017 and was recently renewed for season four. We’re still tracking the ratings, to see how it stacks up to the other summertime programming on the CBS broadcast network. Will it be a hit, or has everyone who cares already watched it on CBS All Access? Stay tuned.
A CBS legal drama, season one of The Good Fight stars Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Delroy Lindo, Erica Tazel, Sarah Steele, and Justin Bartha. Paul Guilfoyle, Bernadette Peters, Carrie Preston, Matthew Perry, and Rita Wilson recur. The spin-off picks up one year after the events of The Good Wife TV series finale. In the wake of the 2017 presidential inauguration, Diane Lockhart (Baranski) decides to move to Provence and tenders her resignation. Her goddaughter, Maia Rindell (Leslie) is just starting out at the firm when word breaks that her parents have perpetrated a huge financial scam. Now, Maia’s reputation is trashed, and Diane’s savings are wiped out. No longer welcome at Lockhart & Lee, Maia and Diane join Lucca Quinn (Jumbo) at a prominent Chicago law firm.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly on the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like The Good Fight TV series? Will you consider subscribing to CBS All Access to watch the second season and beyond? Should season two be broadcast on CBS, as well?
I enjoyed The Good Wife and was looking
forward watching The Good Fight, but there
is too much nudity. How can this be that this
comes in the home, when one thinks entertaining oneself with family friendly
series?
Please air the good fight over the air because I don’t have cable or internet just a antenna and so I can’t see any thing on all axis leaving me in the dark. It’s a great show without my in joyment. So sad?
I watched the Good Wife. I wasn’t happy when they put the Good Fight on CBS All Access only. Wanted to watch the characters continue to evolve. Was glad when Season 1 aired on CBS. Watched all episodes. I don’t care how good a show is, I will not be forced into paying to see it. This is ridiculous. I pay enough per month for TV as it is. I will not pay more.
Love The Good Fight! Please show season 2 on CBS network!
Ditto to the other comments. Great show, loved season 1, and would definitely watch more but, I won’t be paying for CBS streaming. Already spending enough on TV.
I agree. I love the show but refuse to pay more to watch streaming
PLEASE PLEASE air the next seasons of the Good Fight! I absolutely love this show. I too will NOT pay anymore to watch television, so will not subscribe to all access
We LOVE the series “The Good Fight” and really want it back on CBS for many seasons to come!! We couldn’t wait to see the next episode every week! And please, don’t stream it instead!
Please air The Good Fight on CBS season 2,3,4, and so on . It’s a really good show.My friends & I all loved it.
I would love to see Seasons 2 & 3 of The Good Fight on CBS TV. I will not pay to watch it on CBS All Access streaming. I already pay too much for cable TV
I would love for The Good Fight to be broadcast on national TV rather than streaming. It is Quality show with exquisite writing and plot. Please show it on CBS,,!!!
Yes, I would love to see season 2 on CBS.
I too would love to see Season 2 of The Good Fight on CBS.
