The new show picks up the story a year after central character Alicia Florrick walked off into the sunset. Producers have declared that there’s no chance Julia Margulies character will be returning, show runners have said that her story is over.

Instead the new show will focus on Christine Baranski’s character Dianne Lockhart. Who discovers that he retirement will have to be delayed after all her money is lost in a financial con.

As the show will be screening on CBS-All Access, an online streaming channel, the producers have a lot more leeway on the type of language they can use. So when Lockhart discovers her life savings have disappeared she’ll be dropping the F-bomb for the first time.

The first episode of the ten episode series will also be broadcast on free-to-air TV in the US, so two version of the scene were recorded, on traditional TV she’ll just say “son of a bitch” instead.
