CBS just announced that Mayor de Blasio will be guest starring as himself on Season 5 of The Good Wife.

Florrick/Agos Takes Major Hit, Loses Important Client to Lockhart/Gardner in Upcoming Episode?

The New York City mayor will make the appearance on an episode which will air on March 16. All we know about the episode, which is titled A Few Words, is that Alicia Florrick (Juliana Margulies) is asked to be the keynote speaker at the American Bar Association conference in NYC.  

It seems like de Blasio is following in the footsteps of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who also guest starred on the legal drama last spring.

Cary and Robyn Will Be Romantically Involved?

The episode will feature a bunch of other guest stars. Rayna Hecht will be playing a "power lawyer," Eric Bogisian will return to the show in his role as Nelson Dubeck, who is an agent in the office of public integrity.

A host of guest stars have been announced for the remaining part of season 5.

Alicia and Diane to Become Closer?

It was recently announced the John Leguizamo will be coming on board as Cook County's new State Attorney, and taking the reigns from Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) who has now gone on to fulfill his gubernatorial duties. Leguizamo's character is a very conscientious man, and that will be translated to his role as State Attorney as well.

Michael J. Fox will also be reprising his role as Louis Canning, Alicia's nemesis in court.

Other guest stars this season have included Jeffrey Tambor, Carrie Preston, Gary Cole, America Ferrera and John Benjamin Hickey.

The Good Wife returns to CBS on Sunday, Mar. 9 at 9 p.m.
