YES PLEASE!!!

Hey! Speaking of female-centered TV shows! Remember when I was lamenting The Good Wife going off the air? I said: "My favoritest favorite is Lucca Quinn, played by Cush Jumbo, who is amazing. Can we please get a spinoff of Lucca Quinn? I'm begging you, CBS. I can't say goodbye to Lucca yet! I'M NOT READY."

WELL CBS HAS HEARD MY PITIFUL CRIES!

The Good Wife Spinoff to Star Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo:
The verdict has been announced: The Good Wife will get a spinoff!

The new series, set to premiere in the spring of 2017, will pick up one year after the events from the finale episode of The Good Wife.

Christine Baranski will reprise the beloved Diane Lockhart, a role which earned her six Emmy Award nominations. She will be joined by fan-favorite Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn.

The series will be available exclusively on CBS All Access, the Network's digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service. Following Star Trek, it will be the second original series developed specifically for CBS All Access.
I'm pretty meh about its being on CBS Access (what even is that? I guess I'll figure it out!), but I'm excited that Robert and Michelle King, who created and executive produced The Good Wife, will co-create and executive produce the spinoff. Yay!

MORE CUSH JUMBO AND CHRISTINE BARANSKI FOR EVERYONE!!!
