Producers of "The Good Wife" spinoff on CBS All Access are apparently referring to the show with working title. Meanwhile, former co-stars Julianna Margulies and Josh Charles recently reunited at a gala last September. It's still unclear if the actress will become part of the spinoff series.
TV Line reports that "The Good Wife" spinoff has been referred to as "The Good Wife Derivative" internally among the production crew. It should be emphasized that this is not yet the official title of the show that will be airing on CBS All Access.
Christine Baranksi once joked that the title "The Better Wife" has been brought up as a suggestion, in her interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Fans are still awaiting the announcement of the show's complete official details as filming starts this fall.
"The Good Wife" spinoff is set for its first run on CBS All Access in February 2017, per Deadline. It is speculated that the network will be taking advantage of the February sweeps. "The Good Wife" creators and showrunners, Robert and Michelle King, will still be taking reigns over the spinoff.
Meanwhile, former "The Good Wife" co-stars Julianna Margulies and Josh Charles recently reunited during a gala event. Entertainment Weekly reports that the actors, who played lovers in the series before Charles left during the fifth season, were attending the Labyrinth Theater Company's Celebrity Charades Gala last September and took time for a photo opportunity.
Fans of "The Good Wife" have been wondering if they will get to see Julianna Margulies' Alicia Florrick in the spinoff. Producers have kept mum about this, but they have also not discounted the possibility that the character will be appearing on the new show.
"The Good Wife" spinoff is set a year after the season finale of the original series, which bowed out of television last May. Baranski will reprise her role as Diane Lockhart, but she's moving to Chicago from New York and she's joining Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) to form a new firm together. Stay tuned for more news about the series.
