Margulies played protagonist Alicia Florrick on all seven seasons of The Good Wife, which aired between 2009 and 2016.

Also starring Matt Czuchry, Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski, the original show spawned a spinoff titled The Good Fight. The series follows Baranski's character Diane Lockhart as she loses her job after a financial scandal destroys the reputation of her goddaughter, lawyer Maia Rindell (Game of Thrones' Rose Leslie).

While Margulies was originally set to appear in the third season of The Good Fight, she eventually passed on the offer, saying: "I wanted to be paid my worth and stand up for equal pay."

The Morning Show seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Apple TV+.
