LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- The Good Fight, the eagerly awaited streaming spinoff of The Good Wife, is to premiere on CBS All Access Feb. 19.

A special broadcast preview of its pilot will air on the CBS Television Network that same night, after which all fresh episodes will be available online weekly on Sundays, exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers.

Starring Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Delroy Lindo, Sarah Steele, Paul Guilfoyle, Bernadette Peters, Justin Bartha and Erica Tazel, the legal drama begins one year after the events of the final broadcast episode of The Good Wife.

  "CBS All Access has built tremendous momentum in the past year -- passing 1 million subscribers, launching our first original with Big Brother: Over the Top and, most recently, bringing live NFL on CBS programming to the service," Marc DeBevoise, president and chief operating officer of CBS Interactive, said in a statement Wednesday. "We're continuing this momentum with the upcoming launch of The Good Fight, which promises to not only deliver more ambitious premium programming for our subscribers but an opportunity for world-class creators like Robert and Michelle King to push the envelope in new ways."
