The Good Fight Final Season Trailer: Is Diane Dumping Gary Cole for Mad Man John Slattery? — WATCH
Gary Cole’s full-time commitment to NCIS may have created an opportunity for Diane Lockhart.
Paramount+ on Wednesday unveiled the official trailer for The Good Fight‘s sixth and final season, and the 150-second teaser strongly implies that Christine Baranski’s married alter ego gets romantically entangled with the new doctor character played by Mad Men vet John Slattery. Meanwhile, Cole — who co-stars as Diane’s hubby Kurt McVeigh — gets minimal screen time in the trailer (watch above).
As we previously reported, series creators Robert and Michelle King toyed with breaking up Diane and Kurt last season, which found the couple grappling with their stark political differences like never before. Ultimately, however, they “didn’t have the heart to pull the trigger,” Robert admitted to TVLine. “For some reason, their chemistry [is stronger than their] political [differences].”
The rousing trailer also offers glimpses of Good Wife vet Alan Cumming (reprising his role as Eli Gold) and Emmy winner Andre Braugher, who joins the cast in the series regular role of Ri’Chard Lane, a showman lawyer and rainmaker who is forced on Liz (Audra McDonald) as a new name partner.
Good Fight‘s final season finds Diane experiencing an “uneasy sense of déjà vu, with everything from Roe v. Wade to voting rights to Cold War aggressions returning,” per the official teaser synopsis provided by Paramount+. “Meanwhile, the lawyers of Reddick & Associates wonder if the violence that they see all around them points to an impending civil war.”
The Good Fight‘s 10-episode farewell season premieres Thursday, Sept. 8 on Paramount+.
I’m so sad this show is ending. I’ve really enjoyed it.
Love this show…the cast is great. I will miss it, but will enjoy seeing Eli Gold again!
To this day The Good Wife remains my favorite show ever and to see The Good Fight end really really hurts. I guess I’m lucky I’ve got 13 seasons of this universe, and I’m glad they’re ending it in their own terms. Can’t help but wish they’d come up with another spin-off although I can’t really see that happening.
Oh my god, the show still playing those “political differences”? Started as an anti-Trump show and dragged on and on. This show could have been better but it is forgettable. The Good Wife was so good.
less of that now, though the ‘people’s court’ arc in last season was hilarious and scary in equal measures.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m all for Diane leaving Kurt at this point. Need to see more of this new character to determine whether he would be a better match for her, but the description sounds promising.
Hasn’t even started and I’m already missing the Good Fight. I love this show so very much . Everything Christine Baranski does I love. This show has made me think at times but more so made me laugh. I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer at the beginning of the run and this show was one of my feel goods through out my treatment.
After the sick trick of airing the start of Halo on terrestrial tv. I can say with confidence I will never subscribe to Paramount+ even to see the end of The good fight much as I enjoyed the series,
It was akin to blackmail. ..
