André Braugher Joins Season 6 Of The Good Fight
Deadline is reporting that Emmy winner André Braugher, coming off an eight-season run on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, is set as a series regular in the upcoming sixth season of the Paramount+ legal drama The Good Fight. Now in production, The Good Fight is slated to return this summer on the streaming service.
Homicide alum Braugher will star as Ri’Chard Lane, a showman lawyer and rainmaker who is forced on Liz (Audra McDonald) as a new name partner. A force of nature, Ri’Chard is a wild mix of brilliance, geniality, religion and joyful hedonism. In short, he’s a handful.
Season 5 saw the departures of Adrian Boseman (Delroy Lindo) and Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) as well as the ascension of Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) to partner of Reddick & Associates alongside Liz Reddick. Meanwhile, Marissa (Sarah Steele) and the firm become entangled with Hal Wackner (Patinkin), a regular Chicagoan who decides to open his own courtroom in the back of a copy shop.
The sixth season has Diane 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.
