If you’ve been a fan of CBS’s hit TV series The Good Wife, we’re here to offer you some fantastic news: We now have details about what The Good Wife spin-off will entail, and trust us, it does not disappoint. As Devon Ivie at Vulture reports, actress Sarah Steele is officially reprising her role as Marissa Gold on the spin-off of The Good Wife, which will air on CBS All Access. According to Deadline, the spin-off series will take place one year after the last episode of The Good Wife and the plot will mostly explore “an enormous financial scam that has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor Diane Lockhart’s savings.” Pretty intense stuff, right?
