As Variety points out, Margulies is one of the most sought-after and acclaimed actresses working today.  Throughout her career, she has been nominated for ten Emmy Awards and won three for her work on The Good Wife and ER.

She has also been nominated for 12 Golden Globe Awards. After The Good Wife ended, Margulies went on to work on projects like Billions and the National Geographic series The Hot Zone — which was recently renewed for a second season.

The outlet doesn’t give any further information on who Margulies’s character is or what her arc will be across the show’s sophomore season. Considering the series is Apple TV Plus’s flagship series, and Margulies is a well-respected television actress, we can safely assume it’ll be something significant and juicy.

For those who haven’t tuned into the series just yet, it stars Aniston and Witherspoon as anchors on a morning news show and focuses on the show’s behind-the-scenes turmoil.

Margulies’s casting serves as another big get for Apple’s streaming service, which recently cast Kate Hudson in Truth Be Told Season 2 and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in an upcoming psychological thriller series titled Surface.
