BET to Air Good Fight Episodes About Racial Biases, White Privilege

BET viewers will get a very good sampling of The Good Fight when select episodes of the acclaimed CBS All Access series land on the cabler in late July.

Airing across two nights (as detailed below), this “special presentation” will showcase six episodes from Season 3, which aired in Spring 2019 and in which the lawyers at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart deal with issues spanning racial biases inside and outside of the office, political resistance, pay disparity, white privilege, voter fraud and more.

This marks the first time that The Good Fight has been available to non-CBS All Access subs since Season 1 was rerun on CBS proper last summer.

The BET playlist is as follows:
