A politician’s wife stands beside her husband at a scandal press conference, then quietly goes back to work and becomes the best lawyer in the building. That was The Good Wife, and Netflix has brought it to Mexico.
Alicia’s Law stars Fernanda Castillo, best known for El Señor de los Cielos, as a woman rebuilding her career and her life in public.

What is Alicia’s Law about?
Alicia is a former lawyer whose husband, Aurelio, a Supreme Court justice, is jailed for corruption and caught up in a sex scandal. With two children to raise, she goes back to work.
Her new job is at a firm owned by David, her college sweetheart. She has to prove herself among younger colleagues, while deciding whether to return to her old life or build a new one.
Alicia’s Law cast
Fernanda Castillo plays Alicia, Juan Manuel Bernal plays her husband Aurelio and Michel Brown (Pasión de Gavilanes) plays David.
The ensemble includes Claudio Roca (Freddy), AlaÃde (Bobby Ramos), Caro Darman (Elizabeth), Yoshira Escárrega (Katya), DarÃo Yazbek (Alex), Karla Gaytán (Greta), Axel Madrazo (Iker), Patricia Bernal (Jaqui), MarÃa Penella (SofÃa), Francisco Rubio (Paco), Anita del Rey (Nuria) and Juliette Pardau (Pilar).
How close is it to The Good Wife?
The set-up is very close: Alicia Florrick becomes Alicia, Peter becomes Aurelio, and Will Gardner becomes David. Kalinda fans should keep an eye on Katya.
The difference is the setting. Moving the story to Mexico’s Supreme Court and Mexican politics gives the scandal a different weight. CBS Studios, which made the original, is a producer.
Alicia’s Law Part 2 release date
Netflix is releasing the series in two parts. Part 2 arrives on December 9, 2026, so there is time to finish Part 1 and the cliffhanger before the second batch.
Directors Ana Lorena Pérez RÃos Gómez, José Ramón Chávez and Erik Baeza share the episodes. The writing team is Fernanda Eguiarte, Jimena Gallardo, Itzel Lara, Patricia Ordaz and Carlos Trujano.
