US TV network CBS has announced plans for a spin-off series of its Emmy award-winning drama The Good Wife.<\/p>\n
The new show, which doesn’t yet have a title, will premiere in spring 2017 on CBS All Access – the network’s subscription online streaming service.<\/p>\n
It will see the return of characters played in the main series by Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo.<\/p>\n
The final episode of The Good Wife was broadcast in the US earlier this month after seven seasons.<\/p>\n
Baranski appeared in all seven series as Diane Lockhart, a senior partner of a Chicago law firm. British actress Jumbo joined the show in its final season to play lawyer Lucca Quinn.<\/p>\n
“The Good Wife is consistently one of our most-watched series across digital platforms,” Marc DeBevoise, general manager of CBS Digital Media said.<\/p>\n
“This new series, with the incredible storytellers and marquee talent that have signed on, is a perfect addition to CBS All Access’s original programming slate.”<\/p>\n
