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?
We enjoyed the Good Fight. Please continue to show on CBS. We have Direct TV and will not subscribe to CBS All Access. My husband does not normally watch series but he watched this one.
Great Show. Please keep on CBS. Like many other people with satellite internet I can’t steam because of the limited monthly allowance and can only see The Good Fight on CBS network.
EXCELLENT writing, EXCELLENT acting, REALLY good storylines. Please keep it on CBS
and please stop, STOP the ridiculous politics and slamming our president!
I like the Good Fight but will not watch it on streaming especially a pay service….Besides not having access to good internet or cell service, we already pay too much for cable/satellite as it is ….. so I think it should air on the Network free TV. This show is an acquired taste and I don’t think the 18-30 year olds will watch it …they care more about the Big Brother and reality type tv….I hate those shows and I think there is too much of that crap on tv now as it is.
I love Good Fight. Please keep it on CBS. I’m not going to pay to see it on CBS All Access as for I’m paying a lot for cable already so I’m not going to pay to watch it. Besides streaming shows on my computer doesn’t work very good because it keeps freezing.
Hope to see season 2 of Good Fight on CBS network. Already paying so much for cable that am unwilling to add more $$$$$ to our bill.
Love this show. I hope CBS decides to air season 2 on broadcast tv. This is definitely better than all the reality shows on air.
Please keep airing all of the Good Fight.
I agree with Loretta. We enjoyed watching The Good Fight on CBS. We already pay too much for TV to pay for additional subscriptions.
We enjoyed watching season 1 on CBS network. Please keep it on CBS network. We already pay too for TV to pay more to subscribe to CBS all access
This is the best series of the summer. I hope CBS will air upcoming shows. I wish I had access to former series aired on all access.
I love this show. I have CBS all access, mainly because of Big Brother, but haven’t gotten the chance to watch The Good Fight. I spend too much time on my computer as it is and don’t want to have to watch TV that way on a regular basis. I would love for it to be a regular on CBS.
Please keep The Good Fight season 2 on CBS network.
Keep The Good Fight on the CBS network. It’s fabulous!
Please air all seasons of The Good Fight on CBS…..Season 1 hooked me!
