The Good Fight cast reunited amid coronavirus lockdown, lead by Christine Baranski, but one former castmember was missing in the form of Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie.

The show functions as a spin-off of political drama The Good Wife, and follows lawyer Diane Lockhart (Baranski) who starts work at a Chicago law firm after losing her life savings in a financial scam.

Ygritte actress Rose played Lockhart’s goddaughter Maia Rindell in the drama, but left the show after three seasons as a regular cast member.

The Good Fight, like most other TV shows, announced last month that its production would be shutting down due to the growing nature of the coronavirus pandemic.

But that didn’t stop the rest of the cast – including Beauty and the Beast star Audra McDonald, alongside writers and creators Robert and Michelle King – reuniting over (where else!) video conference site Zoom.

Truly, all our lives are now run by Zoom.

Via the conference, fans of the show were made aware that despite the shutdown, work was still continuing on the fourth season, which is scheduled to drop its third episode on 30 April.

The cast had a good old singalong to Johnny Cash

And of course, in these trying times, things ended in a song, as Mamma Mia icon Christina led the cast and crew in a rendition of Johnny Cash’s classic You Are My Sunshine.

We kind of wish they had burst into a rendition of ABBA, but we’re fine.

Luther actress Rose left The Good Fight at the conclusion of its third season in 2019, where her character was written out as she moved to Washington DC to start her own law firm.

Her exit came one year after her highly-publicised wedding to Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington, with The Good Fight being her last TV credit to date.

The 33-year-old has also starred alongside Idris Elba in the BBC detective series Luther for one season in 2015 and will next be seen in Sir Kenneth Branagh’s second Poirot film, Death on the Nile, alongside Gal Gadot.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Rose Leslie for comment.

The Good Fight airs on CBS All Access in the US.
