The sixth season of The Good Fight has Diane (Christine Baranski) feeling like she’s going crazy, struggling with an uneasy sense of déjà vu, with everything from Roe v. Wade to voting rights to Cold War aggressions returning. Meanwhile, the lawyers of Reddick & Associates wonder if the violence that they see all around them points to an impending civil war.

Rashad recently played Beth’s mom in NBC’s drama series This Is Us, a guest starring role which earned her three of her six Emmy nominations to date. On the film side, she has played Michael B. Jordan’s foster mother in the Creed franchise.

Isaac starred in National Theatre Live: Salomé and appeared in CBS’ Madam Secretary.

The Good Wife spinoff The Good Fight is produced by CBS Studios in association with Scott Free Productions and King Size Productions. It is distributed worldwide by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Isaac is repped by D2 Management and Independent Talent Group.  Bergen is repped by Buchwald and Industry Entertainment. Rashad is repped by Innovative Artists and BKEntertainment. Scheer is repped by UTA and Schreck Rose Dapello.
