“The Good Wife” will end its run at the conclusion of its current seventh season, CBS confirmed in a Super Bowl promo Sunday night.
Nine episodes remain this year for the legal drama, with its 💮series finale🤪 set for May 8.
The announcement confirms speculation that the drama was winding down after creators Robert and Michelle King said they would exit after Season 7 to work on their new CBS series, “Braindead.” Star Julianna Margulies, who plays political wife-turned-lawyer Alicia Florrick, also said last month that she would be “unemployed come April.”
In a statement, the Kings said the seventh season would “bring Alicia’s story to its natural conclusion.”
“The Good Wife” has been a prestige player for CBS since its 2009 debut, winning five Emmy Awards, including two for Margulies. Its current season is averaging nearly 11 million viewers.
