A new report reveals that the Chumhum storyline will be a significant part of season 6 of The Good Wife.

In a recent interview with TVLine, the show's co-creator Robert King spoke about the discussion about Mrs. Chumhum in the finale when the teleconference talk which wasn't shut off and Florrick/Argos were unethically accessing revealed that their biggest client was being poached by Lockhart/Gardner.

Deena Chumhum ("Mrs. Chumhum") was spotted in the Lockhart/Gardner office and Cary Agos (Matt Czuchry) interpreted that as being a grave threat to them. Deena, who is played by Megan Ketch, will be returning on the show, King revealed. He said Ketch was "very good" and that they would be getting "her back early next year."

King then went on to state that Chumhum will be a crucial plot point in the next season of the series.

"So, you're going to find [the fight for Chumhum's business] is a continuing plot line," King said. "What Lucky Strike was to Mad Men, Chumhum is to us." And indeed, King adds, the fallout from Deena's flirtation with Lockhart-Gardner could potentially mess with Florrick-Agos' future - and even its desire to bring Diane into the fold."

The highlight of the finale for season 5 was Eli Gould (Alan Cumming) proposing Alicia (Julianna Margulies) becomea candidate for State's Attorney. The cliffhanger obviously had to do with the big decision Alicia will have to take now.

The finale, titled A Weird Year, aired on May 18.

Season 6 will premiere on CBS on September 21.
