It has been eight years since The good wife ended, but the legal drama lived on in spin-offs The Good Fight (which remains exclusive to Paramount+ subscription holders) and ElsbethThe second season will premiere in CBS’s fall schedule. Creators Robert and Michelle King are already pretty busy with the crime series. Elsbethbut the duo will be returning to the legal drama genre for a new CBS show, and I’m super excited.
The Kings are developing a new series with the provisional title Cupertino and is described as a “David vs. Goliath legal drama set in Silicon Valley,” according to Deadline. They will write the series and serve as executive producers alongside Liz Glotzer, which spins off Size Productions. CBS Studios will be the producing studio, marking the latest collaboration between the studio and the Kings during their 15-year partnership.
Considering that Robert and Michelle King lagged behind The good wifewhich ran for seven seasons on CBS and was considered one of the best series on television, I am more than excited to see what could become of it Apple Inc. They were also behind the spinoff of the legal drama The good fightthat was specifically on Paramount+, so Cupertino will indeed be the Kings’ first legal drama on CBS since the end of The good wifeAnd every judge and jury would agree that it is time.
Not much has been revealed about it yet CupertinoThe plot and cast are still pending, but the brief description alone suggests that this is a show not to be missed. Depending on the plot and the direction the Kings want to take the series, perhaps it could be their next growing legal drama franchise? The possibilities are endless at the moment.
News from Cupertino comes just days after the Kings’ supernatural thriller was transferred from CBS to Paramount+ Devilish ended after four seasons. The series finale premiered on August 22nd, and while many people think it’s a no-brainer to save the series, there’s no indication that will happen. However, things can always change, and thankfully there are plenty of similar series for fans to watch in the meantime.
Meanwhile, the news about the new series comes just a few weeks before the second season of Elsbeth Premieres on October 17th on CBS. Although Elsbeth While it is not a courtroom drama like its predecessors, it was still a surprise hit on the network and likely influenced the development of this latest series.
At the very least, the prospect of another Robert and Michelle King legal drama in the future is all the more exciting considering it’s been far too long since Robert and Michelle King dabbled in the genre at CBS. And I really hope it happens.
