Wanda Sykes joins the cast of hit legal drama The Good Fight

Wanda Sykes joins the cast of The Good Fight in its fifth season, as lawyer Allegra Durado, who returns to practise law after taking a decade off to write a book.

“Our holy grail of casting is always to find dramatic actors who can also deliver the comedy, and that pretty much defines Wanda,” said the show’s creators, Robert and Michelle King.

“We couldn’t feel more fortunate to be working with her.”
