The Good Fight creators: Our show could run for years thanks to real-world events

Deadline

Robert and Michelle King expect The Good Fight to surpass the show it was spun off from, The Good Wife, simply because of the fewer episodes. But adapting real-world events also provides unlimited possibilities. "The Good Wife was a killer 22 episode season so we were always planning towards our escape hatch, what is the way out of that nightmare," says Robert King. "The Good Fight is a little different because it’s reacting to the news, it’s a serialized year about what’s going on in the country and the country isn’t getting less interesting, it’s getting more interesting to its detriment so I think we’re not putting a finger on when we would end because there’s a therapeutic quality to the show." Michelle King adds: “I keep waiting for a moment when the real world isn’t presenting us with so many opportunities for stories and unfortunately it hasn’t arrived.”
