‘The Good Fight’ Star Sarah Steele To Recur On NBC’s ‘Brilliant Minds’ For Season 2
EXCLUSIVE: Sarah Steele (The Good Fight, The Good Wife) has joined the cast of NBC‘s Brilliant Minds for Season 2 in a recurring guest star role. Brilliant Minds airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC, and the next day on Peacock.
Steele will first appear in episode 211, “The Boy Who Feels Everything,” scheduled to air on January 5. She plays Sofia, a new patient suffering from a medical mystery that Wolf (Zachary Quinto) struggles to crack. She’s a bit brazen, and becomes fast friends with Wolf after a run-in in the unlikeliest of places.
Inspired by the life and work of author and physician Oliver Sacks, Brilliant Minds follows Dr. Oliver Wolf, a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
In addition to Quinto, Brilliant Minds also stars Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Teddy Sears, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, Brian Altemus and Al Calderon. Bellamy Young is a recurring guest star in Season 2.
Michael Grassi serves as writer and executive producer. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra also executive produce. Berlanti Productions, Fabel Entertainment, The Imaginarium, Grassi Productions and Tavala produce in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Steele is currently filming her return as Marissa Gold in the third season of Elsbeth, a spinoff of The Good Wife. She most recently starred as a series regular in all six seasons of the hit Paramount+ series The Good Fight as Marissa Gold. Film credits include the A24 feature You Hurt My Feelings opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Universal Pictures’ Viena and Fantomes opposite Dakota Fanning, the independent feature Ask For Jane and Speech & Debate (reprising her role from the off-Broadway production).
Additional TV credits include Girls (HBO), Nurse Jackie (Showtime), Bull (CBS) and Master of None (Netflix). She is repped by Gersh and Untitled.
