The Good Wife may be over, but we haven't seen the last of Diane and Lucca. 

CBS has confirmed it is going forward with a spin-off starring Christine Baranski and  Cush Jumbo that will air exclusively on CBS All Access, its subscription streaming service.

The show does not yet have a title. 

In case you're keeping score, this marks the second major original property to make a home at All Access, which will debut a new Star Trek series in spring 2017. 

"Our original programming strategy for CBS All Access is data-driven and focused on exclusive, premium content that will continue to expand the value of our service to subscribers,” said Marc DeBevoise, executive vice president and general manager of CBS digital media. “The Good Wife is consistently one of our most-watched series across digital platforms, and this new series, with the incredible storytellers and marquee talent that have signed on, is a perfect addition to CBS All Access’s premium original programming slate.”

At its annual Upfront Presentation on Wednesday, CBS president Les Moonves unveiled a new teaser for the series which teased new crews, new villains, new heroes and new worlds.

Moonves, however, didn't show all his cards, saying it was "too early" to reveal the cast for the upcoming show. 

We'll post video of the teaser as soon as it arrives online. 

CBS All Access, which runs about $6 per month, is also where viewers can stream shows from the massive CBS library.
