Actress Rose Leslie, best known for her role as Ygritte on “Game of Thrones,” has filmed a steamy lesbian shower scene for the first episode of the new legal drama “The Good Fight.”
The show, which is a spin-off of “The Good Wife,” follows Leslie’s character Maia as she joins her godmother Diane Lockhart’s law firm in Chicago.
In the shower scene, Maia is shown getting intimate with her on-screen girlfriend Amy, played by Helene Yorke.
The relationship between Maia and Amy was introduced in the show’s trailer, which featured the pair kissing, and in photos released by Entertainment Weekly, the characters are shown cuddling in bed.
Leslie is not the first LGBT lead character in the show’s universe, as Archie Panjab’s portrayal of bisexual character Kalinda Sharma was well-received in the early seasons of “The Good Wife.”
However, Panjab left the show in its sixth season and is not expected to return for “The Good Fight.”
Bi actor Alan Cumming, who also had a key role in “The Good Wife,” is also not expected to appear in the spin-off.
Leslie will be joined by “Good Wife” alumni Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo, who are reprising their roles for the new show.
The remaining nine episodes of “The Good Fight’s” first season will be available on CBS’s streaming service, CBS All Access.
