CBSThe education of Alicia Florrick is over—The Good Wife has ended after seven seasons—but that doesn't necessarily mean we've seen the last of the kooky characters knocking around the Lockhart/Florrick law firm hallways.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS is in talks for a Good Wife spinoff on CBS All Access, the network's streaming platform. Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo would star and Robert and Michelle King would write the premiere, but not run the series. Star Trek is already in the works from CBS for CBS All Access. Request for comment from CBS was not immediately returned.
After The Good Wife series finale, series co-creator Michelle King said "it's a little early to talk about at this point," when E! News asked about potential spinoff ideas following characters such as Jumbo's Lucca Quinn, Martha Plimpton's Patti Nyholm and Carrie Preston's Elsbeth Tascioni.
"The characters are very real in our head," Robert King told us. "We expect to turn a corner and meet Patti Nyholm in life and I do think all of those would be very excellent ideas."
Previously the Kings have expressed interest in doing more with Preston's Elsbeth. She won an Emmy for the role in 2013.
Fans have been speculating about potential spinoffs around Jumbo's character. The actress joined the show for the seventh and final season and told E! News she was ready.
"I knock on their door every day. I'm like, ‘What's going on? What's going on with the Lucca Quinn spinoff?'" Jumbo told E! News at The Good Wife's wrap party. "Please, I would jump—obviously—on that train. I would love for that to happen. But I'm kind of the last one in, so I have to just kind of wait to see what happens. You can't scare the Kings off. You've got to be careful with the Kings."
