CBS announces The Good Wife will end this year

CBS has announced The Good Wife will not be coming back for another season.

The show stars Julianna Margulies and was created by Robert and Michelle King. It will conclude on Sunday, May 8th at the end of the current season.

CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller and CBS TV Studios president David Stapf said in a joint statement: “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. 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. It has been CBS’ sincere privilege to broadcast and produce The Good Wife for seven extraordinary seasons. We thank and applaud the outstanding cast, led by the impeccable Julianna Margulies, and the consummate writing and producing team, headed by the brilliant Robert and Michelle King, who brought to life a smart, sophisticated series that has delivered audiences so many memorable characters and unforgettable moments. It is a series that will only grow in prestige as its episodes are watched again or discovered by new viewers for many years to come.”
