New "Disgusting" Character Joining For Rest Of Season 6  

Panjabi spoke to Radio Times about working on The Fall with Gillian Anderson and while talking about a particular scene on the show, she dropped a reason about why she felt she was done withThe Good Wife.

"When I was kissing her, Allan Cubitt, the show's creator and director, had to say, 'Archie, can you hold back?' because Gillian was supposed to take me by complete surprise. I didn't think that I was very forward in [the scene], but obviously after a while a character starts to affect you," Panjabi said.

The "character" Panjabi was talking about was Kalinda Sharma from The Good Wife.

"I thought, 'OK, I think it's time to go now,'" she added.

On October 15, The Hollywood Reporter broke the bit of news about Panjabi leaving the show after season 6. Panjabi's contract with the CBS legal drama expires at the end of this season and it was revealed that she had no intention of renewing it, as she had made other commitments. More specifically, starring in a new Fox drama, the pilot for which should air next spring. Panjabi's move might also have been spurred by the fact that her character arc was weakening as the seasons went along, in the last chapter she became less significant to the plot of the show.

Sharon Klein, executive vice president at 20th century Fox, expressed her excitement at getting Panjabi on board.

"Archie is an Emmy Award-winning dramatic actress, and rightly so. Her work on The Good Wife has been extraordinary, and the time has come for her to star in a project of her own," she said. "We couldn't be happier that it will be with us."

The next episode of The Good Wife will air on January 18.
