If you were looking to escape your daily reminder that Donald Trump is president, CBS All Access series “The Good Fight” is not going to be your happy place in Season 2.
That’s because every episode in the upcoming installment will be named for how many days Trump has been sitting in the oval office, a spokesperson for CBS tells TheWrap.
So the first episode of Season 2, available March 4, is titled “Day 408.” And then the second will be titled “Day 415.” And the third — well, you get it.
“The Good Fight” creator Robert King told Deadline the creative decision echoes a hostage crisis clock and speaks to the state of Diane’s (Christine Baranski) mind while Trump is POTUS in the series, which is set in real time.
In season two, the world is going insane, and the Chicago murder rate is on the rise. Amidst the insanity, Diane, Lucca, Maia and the rest of the law firm find themselves under psychological assault when a client at another firm kills his lawyer for overcharging. After a copycat murder, the firm begins to look at its own clients suspiciously. Meanwhile, Diane battles with a new partner at the firm, Liz Reddick-Lawrence (Audra McDonald); Maia becomes tougher after her parents’ scandal puts her on trial; and Lucca is brought back into Colin’s orbit.
Season two of “The Good Fight” premieres March 4 on CBS All Access. New episodes will be released weekly on Sundays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers.
