We're kicking things off with a spin-off... of a spin-off!

Spin-ception? Incep-spin? You decide.

The Good Wife debuted back in 2009 and followed a high-flying lawyer after a public scandal involving her husband. Then came The Good Fight, which continued the story a year after the ending of the original show.

A constant presence throughout those two shows is the character of Elsbeth Tascioni, played by Carrie Preston. Elsbeth is also a lawyer described by the show as "quirky."

Oh boy, you know you're in for a treat when the Q word gets busted out...

Clearly somebody liked her, as Elsbeth is getting her own show, according to recent news.

This new series will transplant the scatterbrained attorney from her usual Chicago setting to New York, where she'll work alongside the police force to bring criminals to justice in her own unique way.

Considering just how popular the character has become after so few appearances, this is a very exciting prospect. It's also great news for Preston, who already won an Emmy for playing the part back in 2013.

Let's just hope the word "quirky" isn't used too often in this new show. Feels dirty just writing it down.
