Sarah Steele will join previously announced Good Wife veterans Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo as Diane Lockhart and Lucca Quinn respectively in the new series.
Forced out of her law firm Lockhart and Lee, Diane and her protege move to Chicago and join Lucca at a pre-eminent law firm.
The series will pick up one year after the final episode of The Good Wife and will center around “an enormous financial scam that has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor Diane Lockhart’s savings.”
In addition to Steele’s casting, we’ve also recently learned the first plot details for the spin-off, courtesy of Deadline.
