Before you can turn down a guest appearance on a spin off of a long time network hit, you have to be asked.

Julianna Margulies Says She Turned Down Good Wife Spinoff Arc After CBS ‘Wouldn’t Pay’ Her Rate

Julianna Margulies says she nearly reprised her role of Alicia Florrick on the third season of The Good Fight — CBS All Access’ spinoff to The Good Wife — but ultimately turned it down when CBS allegedly wouldn’t meet her rate.

While promoting her National Geographic miniseries The Hot Zone at The Contenders Emmys event in Los Angeles on Sunday, Margulies claimed to Deadline that she was excited about the idea of stepping back into Alicia’s shoes when CBS offered her what would have been a three-episode arc on the series.

She said she’d do the work for her regular fee. Instead, CBS allegedly said they’d give her a lower, guest star rate. “To be perfectly honest, I was shocked,” Margulies, 52, told Deadline. “I was more surprised than hurt. I thought, ‘What are you worth?’ “

“I’m not a guest star; I started the whole thing with The Good Wife,” Margulies said. “I wanted to be paid my worth and stand up for equal pay. if Jon Hamm came back for a Mad Men spinoff or Kiefer Sutherland wanted to do a 24 spinoff, they would be paid.” – Source
