Casting alert: Everyone's favorite police captain has now entered the courtroom! Emmy-winner André Braugher, who is perhaps best known as Raymond Holt on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is joining season six of Paramount+'s "The Good Fight."

"The Good Fight" is a legal drama that's a spin-off and standalone sequel to "The Good Wife." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Braugher is slated to play "Ri'Chard Lane, a showman lawyer and rainmaker who is forced on Liz (Audra McDonald) as a new name partner. A force of nature, Ri'Chard is a wild mix of brilliance, geniality, religion and joyful hedonism. In short, he's a handful."

Series co-creators, showrunners, and executive producers Robert and Michelle King expressed their excitement for Braugher's addition, saying, "Our dream of an actor is always someone who can mix comedy and drama equally, and André Braugher is exactly that. His work on 'Men of a Certain Age,' 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'Homicide' has been amazing and funny. We're ecstatic that he finally has time in his schedule to come play."

We're excited to see what Braugher will bring to the role of Ri'Chard Lane! Here are some photos of Braugher's character before "The Good Fight" is set to return this summer on Paramount+.
