Kyle MacLachlan Will Return For Season 6 Of The Good Wife

Speaking to AssignmentX, the actress stated that she didn't have much information about the next season but suggested that she was pretty sure that her character would be addressing Will's (Josh Charles) death in the next chapter.

"I mean, I would imagine that when I do come back that they will have me at least address that, because my character worked closely with his character, so I'm sure that Elsbeth is going to deal with lots of that," Preston said. "Elsbeth feels things very acutely, so I think they would give me a moment to [react]."

She had no knowledged of how much of her fans would get to see in the next season, but was guessing it would be about the same as in the last.

"I wish it was up to me," she said. "I think it's probably going to be around the same as what I've usually been doing, but I don't know."

In June it was revealed that Preston will be returning for season 6. Preston has also been nominated for her recurring guest role in The Good Wife on the Emmy this year.
