The Good Wife is certainly returning for another season, but the question about it probably being the CBS legal drama's last lingers.

Will Johnny Elfman Return To Pursue Alicia? 

A TVLine report recently addressed the possibility in its spoiler section, when a fan of the show queried about season 7 being the final chapter. Robert and Michelle King, the creators of the series always envisioned the show lasting for seven seasons, according to the report. But at the end of the day, the final word lies with the network i.e. CBS.

"It's a big question mark, because it's a question that's beyond us," Robert told TVLine. "It's...CBS."

Christine Baranski Dishes About Musical Episode In The Good Wife

The co-creator also added that the kind of episode titles they were dishing out lately probably had fans nervous, as they seemed to portend that the end is nigh. "That doesn't mean an end is an end," he said assuringly.

We don't completely agree with this consensus though, in fact the episode titles don't suggest that at all, in fact Alicia's (Julianna Margulies) new role as State's Attorney, as fraught with trouble it might be, is an exciting new realm to explore and could play out for long.

Here's the official synopsis for the next episode, titled 'Winning Ugly':

"When potential voter fraud is discovered in the State's Attorney election, Eli and Alicia take steps to stop a recount by enlisting the help of a well-respected civil rights lawyer, Spencer Randolph (Ron Rifkin). Also, Diane learns she unwittingly submitted false evidence in Cary's case." 

The episode will air on April 11 at 9 p.m. E.T. on CBS.
