CBS, the former home of “The Good Wife,” will rebroadcast all 13 episodes from the first season of spin-off “The Good Fight” beginning on Sunday, June 16. The drama, from Robert and Michelle King, follows character favorites from “The Good Wife” and was CBS All Access’ first original drama series, which recently wrapped up season three.

Forced out of Lockhart and Lee, they join Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) at one of Chicago’s pre-eminent African American-owned law firms.
 
During season one, Baranski, Jumbo and Leslie, along with Delroy Lindo, Erica Tazel, Sarah Steele and Justin Bartha. Robert and Michelle King created the series and serve as showrunner/executive producers of the series, which they co-created with Phil Alden Robinson.
