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.

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?
Yes season two should be broadcast on CBS
I agree with all the posts about airing the next Seasons on regular CBS TV. I too am retired, already pay too much for cable and can’t do streaming.
We really enjoyed season 1 on CBS of the good fight and are waiting anxiously for season 2. Really hoping it’s soon!!!
I think Season 2 of the Good Fight should be broadcast on CBS.
Really enjoyed the Good Fight, great characters and actors! Hoping CBS will continue to broadcast since I have no way of streaming. Only have over the air TV, I’m sure there are many people in the same situation.
I enjoyed the Good Fight but was also a fan of the Good Wife. I would love to see Season 2 on CBS. Of course, I don’t fall into their demographic range but would push for it nonetheless.
We watched season 1 this summer on our regular CBS channel. We loved it. Our new favorite series. Can’t wait for season 2 to start.
I’m hoping it continues on regular CBS. I can’t afford anymore for TV
Please put season 2 on CBS network channel. Senior citizens can’t afford subscriptions.
I am also a senior on a fixed income , so I would like to see season 2 and 3 on regular tv. I loved season 1.
I am officially hooked. Please put Season 2 of The Good Fight on regular CBS-TV. My cable bill is already too high and I can’t spend any more on TV. Or, maybe release the series gradually on DVD.
Please show season 2 and 3 on cbs. I won’t pay for streaming.
Was an avid follower of ‘The Good Wife’, and loved it. Now, after viewing Season 1 of ‘The Good Fight’, I’m hooked on it. Please bring the series back to CBS……retired, on a fixed income. Can it afford multiple streaming services!
Sure hope CBS airs THE GOOD FIGHT – Seasons 2 and 3. Season 1 was loaded with surprise twists. FUN to watch & guess !!
I loved Season 1 of THE GOOD FIGHT on CBS & looked forward to it every week. Recorded it & watched it without ad’s!! Please run Seasons 2 & 3 on CBS Sunday nights. Lots of twists & turns – – FUN !!
