Nothing can stop Diane Lockhart's foul mouth now that "The Good Fight" is set to air as a web series. Series creators Robert and Michelle King have confirmed that Christine Baranski's character will be swearing on "The Good Wife" spin-off.
"Oh yeah, Diane is going to swear," Robert tells TVLine. "There is nothing quite like hearing Christine Baranski swear," he says. However, he doesn't share details in which scene or on what occasion Diane will be swearing.
Based on the series' logline, there is a good reason for Diane to swear. An enormous financial scam has wiped out her savings and also destroyed the reputation of her goddaughter Maia (Rose Leslie). Diane is forced out of Lockhart & Lee and start over by joining Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) at one of Chicago's pre-eminent law firms.
The series also stars Sarah Steele, Delroy Lindo, Paul Guilfoyle, Bernadette Peters, Justin Bartha and Erica Tazel. Guest stars to appear on the show include Gary Cole, Carrie Preston, Michael Boatman, Zach Grenier and Jerry Adler.
"The Good Fight" will premiere on Sunday, February 19, 2017 at 8 P.M. ET on CBS and CBS All Access.
