Delroy Lindo had planned to leave the CBS All Access legal series at the end of its fourth season this spring to headline ABC’s family restaurant drama "Harlem’s Kitchen", but season 4 of "The Good Fight" was never completed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, with only 7 of the 10 episodes being filmed.

With the shortened season, and Lindo now off to ABC, his character of Adrian Boseman never got a proper send-off — or, really, any send-off, for that matter.




We asked Lindo when he called into EW Live (SiriusXM, channel 109) if Adrian will ever get a proper exit.

“There’s talk,” says the departing star about wrapping up his character’s journey. “I’ve spoken with the producers, the Kings, Michelle and Robert King. Even before I left this past season, we were talking about how I could possibly come back and complete that arc.”

So while it seems as if no concrete plans have been made as of yet to bring Lindo back, the plan is to try to find a way to make it happen.




As for the future of the character, just before "The Good Fight" signed off prematurely, Adrian was asked by the Democratic National Committee to seek a run at the presidency, which could be the groundwork for Adrian leaving both the firm and the series.

For a show that has tackled politics and the Trump presidency more than any other scripted program, is a flash-forward to Adrian Boseman as commander-in-chief really that off the wall?

“On some level, it’s a tantalizing prospect,” says Lindo with a laugh. "But on the other hand…. You know what? I don’t know what Robert and Michelle have in mind. We’ll come up with something, and hopefully it will be something that is satisfying for all of us.” And hopefully it will involve Lindo back on the show at least one more time.
