Paramount+ has confirmed that The Good Fight will end with its upcoming sixth season.
That means Christine Baranksi will bid farewell to lawyer Diane Lockhart, who she has played for 13 years.
The TV network confirmed the show's renewal for a sixth season just last year but the Emmy-nominated drama will not see a seventh season.

"We felt we could end the show with a pretty big bang," showrunner Robert King told via Variety. "That's better than getting to the season where we're struggling to find plot. We thought the sixth season could get us off the stage pretty grandly."
The legal drama, which is a spin-off and sequel to The Good Wife, first aired in 2017 and follows the life of Lockhart (Christine Baranski) as she gets a job in a new law firm.

In a statement to Variety, executive producer Ridley Scott said: "In this day and age, where long runs are more the exception than the norm and where discerning audiences have so much choice for quality content, the success and longevity of these series are a testament to how excellent both shows were."
Previously it was announced that The Good Wife's Eli Gold will be coming back to the franchise, with Alan Cumming set to return as the character for season 6 of The Good Fight.
Cummings played chief of staff to Peter Florrick in the original show's run of seven seasons.
The Good Fight's fifth season is now available to watch in the US via Paramount+.
