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.”
