While CBS' new show stars Baranski in the lead, a few other faces from the original series will also be a part of the spin-off. The returning cast includes Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn and Sarah Steele as Marissa Gold. The show will also see Game of Thrones' Rose Leslie as Maia, Diane's goddaughter; Justin Bartha as Colin, a love interest for Lucca; and Delroy Lindo as Robert Boseman.

The show will also see a lesbian relationship between Maia and her girlfriend Amy (Helene Yorke). Executive producer Robert King tells EW, "That's Maia's longtime girlfriend, who is a lawyer herself. She graduated from law school a while ago. Now it's Maia's turn to graduate from law school."
