‘The Good Wife’ Ending After This Season

CBS broke the bad news to Super Bowl viewers Sunday that this current season of The Good Wife will be the last, according to a promo broadcast during the game.

The show's producers, Robert and Michelle King, announced in January that they would be stepping down after seven years. However, CBS president Glenn Geller stated the network was open to keeping the show for at least one more season.

“It’s never easy to say goodbye to one of the crown jewels of your network and studio, much less to a show that is among the best on television,” Geller said in a statement. “But it also feels very right to end with the seven-year story its creators envisioned, and to celebrate the show’s final run while at the top of its creative game.”

Series star Julianna Margulies said, “Being a part of The Good Wife has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. As an actress and a producer, it has been an absolute honor to be a part of a series that, throughout seven years, never settled on being just good… but always strived to be extraordinary. I have witnessed magic happen when Robert and Michelle King put pen to paper, and it has been a privilege to be in the company of their brilliance. To the most amazing and talented cast and crew, there will always be a special place in my heart for our Good Wife family. As we close the book on our beloved show, I am humbled and grateful to know that together, we created and were a part of something truly remarkable.”
