The Good Fight has added another lawyer to the mix.
Michael Sheen has been tapped to star in CBS All Access’ drama The Good Fight. The Masters of Sex will portray an unscrupulous lawyer in the series’ third season.
The casting was announced by the service Wednesday. Sheen’s character, Roland Blum was described as “a brilliant, charismatic and Machiavellian lawyer… a man of appetites, drugs, sex, you name it, who’s far more interested in winning than the niceties of following the law.”
Sheen joins series regulars Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Audra McDonald, Sarah Steele, Michael Boatman, Nyambi Nyambi and Delroy Lindo.
Season Three of The Good Fight is set to premiere in early 2019 and will continue to follow the struggles, scandals, and successes of Diane Lockhart (Baranski) Adrian Boseman (Lindo) and Liz Reddick-Lawrence (McDonald). The new season will also see Lucca Quinn (Jumbo) trying to balance her new baby with a new love while Maia Rindell (Leslie) going head to head with Sheen’s character.
Sheen’s credits include The Queen, Frost/Nixon, and The Twilight franchise. You can see him next in The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle.
