"The Good Fight" remains one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed TV shows on CBS. In Season 4, we got an incredible response from the fans of the show. "
- said Julie McNamara, executive vice president and head of programming for the video service CBS.
“Despite the fact that we were going to show the audience 10 episodes in the 4th season, we, like many of our colleagues, had to adapt in the face of a sudden pandemic. Though it's a shortened season, our favorite cast and crew, led by the talented and unrivaled Robert and Michelle King, have shot an amazing 7 episodes. We can't wait for viewers to see the rest of the season. And we are delighted to bring even more exciting and timely storylines to our subscribers that will come to life in the upcoming season 5. ”
Show writers Robert and Michelle King said:
“It was weird to leave the fourth season unfinished. The narrative ended at an even more absurd place than before. So we're thrilled that CBS All Access is bringing The Good Fight back for an extra season. And we already know what story we plan to tell the audience. "
