In 2019, Julianna Margulies played Dr. Nancy Jaax, a U.S. Army scientist working to stop a fatal Ebola outbreak, in the National Geographic television series The Hot Zone. The limited series attracted a sizable audience, rising to second place among all series and becoming the highest-rated scripted series in National Geographic history.
In the same year, Margulies was scheduled to return to The Good Fight, the spin-off of The Good Wife, for three episodes in her previous role as Alicia Florrick. However, negotiations failed as a result of a disagreement over her pay. Instead of paying her at the rate she received for her work on The Good Wife, CBS offered to pay her at the guest star rate.
Margulies disagreed, contending that she shouldn’t be paid the same as a guest star because she is the primary role. She emphasized the pay gap between men and women, claiming that male celebrities in comparable circumstances would receive substantially higher pay.
Margulies made a cameo appearance as bestselling author Catherine Brant, an Ivy League sociology professor, in the Showtime drama series Billions in November 2019.
Margulies joined the cast of the AppleTV+ drama series The Morning Show in December 2020. She plays Laura Peterson, an anchor for UBA News, in the second season of the program. She joined returning cast members Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.
