We know something, Jon Snow. Rose Leslie was previously announced as a lead on The Good Wife spin-off, The Good Fight, but we've received even better news. Rose's character Maia is a lesbian and will have a steady, lawyer girlfriend, Amy, played by Helene Yorke. Entertainment Weekly got a first-look at the adorable couple, and we're already obsessed. Maia, also a lawyer, is the goddaughter of Christine Baranski's character Diane Lockhart, and both ladies will find themselves involved in a financial scam that will lead to them working at Lucca Quinn's (Cush Jumbo) new law firm. We're sure we'll see many familiar faces on the way, but it's already sounding like the new additions are going to be making it totally worth tuning in.

Now, for those of you who don't know why Rose Leslie is amazing, welcome.
Rose isn't only recognizable from her iconic turn as wildling Ygritte on Game of Thrones, but she also featured in season one of Downton Abbey as maid Gwen Dawson and in Luther's fourth season as Emma Lane. She's also been taking cinema by storm lately in films like The Last Witch Hunter, Morgan, and Honeymoon, all of which I have seen and am thrilled to report are generally good.
