The Good Fight stars Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, victim of an enormous financial scam who decides to team up with Lucca Quinn (played by Cush Jumbo) and work at one of Chicago’s preeminent law firms. Lockhart is godmother to young lawyer Maia Rindell (Rose Leslie) whose reputation suffered as a result of the scam. Erica Tazel stars as Barbara Kolstad, name partner at the firm.
Season one laid these foundations, and now The Good Fight is returning to Paramount Plus for one final showdown on Sept. 8, with civil war as the focus. If you’re in a location where Paramount Plus is available, streaming the final season will be a cinch, but if you’re traveling somewhere it isn’t available, you’ll need a VPN to access the service.

How to Watch The Good Fight Season 6: Release Date
Earlier seasons originally aired on CBS All Access until CBS launched its new streaming service, Paramount Plus. The Good Fight season 6 will premiere exclusively on Paramount Plus on Sept. 8, 2022. Paramount Plus is available in several locations worldwide, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Italy, Denmark, Brazil, Chile and Australia.
Though Paramount Plus is available in several locations, it’s not available everywhere due to regional restrictions. If you have a Paramount Plus account and travel to a country where it’s not available, you won’t be able to access your account. To get around this, you can use a VPN, which changes your IP address to one in another country or location.
For example, if you usually watch Paramount Plus in the U.S. but go somewhere it’s geoblocked, you would connect to a U.S. server on a VPN. This would allow you to access Paramount Plus and stream content as normal. If you’ve never used a VPN, we’ll show you how to do that further down.
To subscribe to Paramount Plus, you also need a payment method linked to the country you’re signing up in. For example, if you sign up in the U.S., you must have a U.S. payment method — a French credit card, for instance, wouldn’t work.
If you don’t have a payment method linked to an available country, you can connect to a U.S. VPN server (or somewhere else Paramount Plus is available) and purchase a Paramount Plus gift card from an online vendor. Your gift card code is sent by email, and you can then redeem it on the Paramount Plus website.
Where Can I Watch Previous Seasons of The Good Fight?
Seasons 1 through 5 of The Good Fight are available on Paramount Plus. They’re also available on Amazon Prime Video U.S., but you need a Paramount Plus trial to watch these, or you can purchase episodes. If you don’t mind paying, seasons 1 through 5 are also on Vudu.
Seasons 1 through 3 are free with a Prime subscription in the U.K., Canada, Australia and France. You can also purchase seasons 4 and 5 on Amazon Prime Video U.K. and Canada, but not in France.
In Australia, you can watch the fourth and fifth season free on Amazon Prime Video via a Paramount Plus free trial, just like in the U.S.
How to Watch The Good Fight for Free?
Paramount Plus has a seven-day free trial, so if you have a payment method linked to the country you’re signing up in, you can benefit from this.
The free trial gives you access to the entire Paramount Plus library on all your devices, including games consoles and smart TVs. If you’re using a Paramount Plus gift card to sign up, you won’t be able to benefit from the free trial.
Seasons 1 through 3 are also free with a Prime subscription on Amazon Prime Video in the U.K., Canada, Australia and France. You can sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime Video free trial to make this happen.
Wondering How to Watch The Good Wife?
The Good Fight is a spin-off of The Good Wife. If you’re interested in getting started with The Good Wife or would like a refresher, you can watch it on:
- Paramount Plus
- Amazon Prime Video (with Paramount Plus)
- Vudu (purchase only)
- Google Play (purchase only)

The 3 Best VPNs for Watching The Good Fight
There are plenty of great VPNs out there, so choosing one can be tricky. The three VPNs below are our top choices for streaming.
1. ExpressVPN
Pros:
- Excellent security record
- Great speeds
- Variety of server locations
Cons:
- Expensive
If nothing but the very best will do, we recommend ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN is a highly secure, easy-to-use VPN with server locations in several countries.
This means you’ll be spoiled for choice when connecting to a country where Paramount Plus is available. In terms of streaming capability, we’ve had great results with every streaming service we’ve tested ExpressVPN with.
As per our recent speed tests, ExpressVPN turned out to be one of the fastest VPNs on the market. Granted, ExpressVPN doesn’t come cheap, but you can’t fault its speed, security, privacy or streaming performance. Plus, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee that lets you try it out risk-free.

2. NordVPN
Pros:
- Intuitive interface
- Top speeds
- Unblocks major streaming apps
Cons:
- Advanced features a bit harder to use
Another worthy contender for your The Good Fight streaming binge is NordVPN. Not only is it one of the more affordable options, our recent speed tests found NordVPN to be the fastest VPN on the market, with low latency (this is good) and excellent download and upload speeds.
Speed is crucial when it comes to streaming, as it allows you to stream in higher resolutions and helps make sure you don’t fall victim to buffering. We’ve been using NordVPN with popular streaming services for quite some time and have had a fantastic experience overall. Though it’s a little less intuitive than ExpressVPN, we consider NordVPN a very worthwhile competitor.

3. Windscribe
Pros:
- Free plan available
- Flexible pro plans
- Gets into major streaming services
Cons:
- 10GB data cap on free plan
- 3-day money-back guarantee
If you’d like to try out a free plan before committing to a paid plan, Windscribe is one of the most flexible VPNs out there. In addition to a 10GB per month free plan which gives you access to 10 server locations, Windscribe offers flexible paid plans, including a build-a-plan option that allows you to pick and choose servers you want. If you mention Windscribe in your Tweets, you can get an extra 5GB added to your plan.
Though free VPNs are known for being hit and miss, Windscribe is safe, secure and capable of getting around geoblocks. The only drawback to the free plan is that you only get 10GB data per month and limited server options, which isn’t great if you’re planning on streaming a lot.
