Fans of The Good Fight will get a proper farewell from original cast members Cush Jumbo and Delroy Lindo in the upcoming season five opener.
The loss of their characters Luca Quinn and Adrian Boseman, who were two of the show's most prominent figures, was announced at the end of season four - but the pair will return for a final Good Fight farewell to finish their storylines.
The COVID-19 crisis brought production on The Good Fight to a halt last year, forcing Season 4 to conclude three episodes early, preventing series creators Robert and Michelle King from giving either actor a proper send-off.
"We couldn’t be more grateful that Delroy and Cush will be returning in season 5 to finish off their arcs," the Kings said in a statement to TVLine.
"We adore the actors and their characters, and are delighted to give the audience a chance to say a proper goodbye."
In confirming her exit in May, British star Jumbo told TVLine: "I have had the most amazing time over the last five years working with Robert, Michelle and the crews of both The Good Wife and The Good Fight.
"I will miss them all so much, but am so excited to explore pastures new. Due to the pandemic forcing us to shut down early we weren’t able to wrap up Lucca’s story fully and so I hope if schedules allow I can return next season to do that."
Lindo announced a year ago that he would be stepping away from the much-loved drama following Season 4 to take a lead role in new series Harlem’s Kitchen.
In place of Jumbo and Lindo, The Good Fight has added Homeland star Mandy Patinkin and Australian actress Charmaine Bingwa as series regulars.
Also joining the show, in a recurring role, is US actor/game show host Wayne Brady, who will play a new love interest for a member of the Reddick/Lockhart staff.
