Archie Panjabi already declared that the "Good Wife" season 6 will be her last. Now, showrunners Robert and Michelle King teased some spoilers on her fate, as well as Alicia who will resume her campaign for state attorney.
Michael Slezak of TVLine talked to the showrunners and asked them if Kalinda will follow the same route of Will Gardner and die on the show.
Michelle King said they are not discounting that possibility, however spoilers for "The Good Wife" season 6 will have to wait.
"All we can say is that we are hoping to make it seem inevitable yet surprising," she said.
Robert King added that they lucked out in the Will Gardner death, and that's why it was shocking to fans.
"We had luck and very good CBS information control in that we were able to hide that Josh Charles was leaving the show [last season]," he said. "We don't have that advantage this year. So, a lot of what we're doing is playing with audience expectations of how [Kalinda's exit] might happen."
Robert King also claimed that Kalinda's fate will depend upon the audience reaction about the story arc for "The Good Wife" season 6.
Previously, Archie Panjabi told Radio Times that it's time to exit "The Good Wife" after season 6 after filming a kissing scene.
"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," she said. "I didn't think that I was very forward in (the scene), but obviously after a while a character starts to affect you.
"I thought, 'Okay, I think it's time to go now'," she said.
On Alicia's road toward the State Attorney position, Robert King teased that she's going to continue to be hounded by some ethical decisions, as she makes compromises on her principles to achieve her goals.
"That's what we wanted to explore with Alicia - someone who doesn't choose to do bad, but someone who finds every day that there are these ethical challenges she didn't even expect, that none of us expect. And she makes...maybe not the wrong choice, but the pragmatic choice," he said.
Watch out for more "The Good Wife" season 6 spoilers as the series returns on March 1.
