Theyve been looking forward to a season 7 finale since season 1.

We quickly thought that the show could only support seven years, so we started to build toward that.

What you will see in last nine is the third act.

Look for lots of old friends to return for these final episodes.

We want to check in with characters we havent seen.

But that doesnt include Kalinda.

Thats not our expectation, said Michelle King.

Thats because shes moved onto another series, which we cant wait to see, added Robert King.

A lot of these shows were happy and sad at the same time, he said.

Added Michelle King, I admire when an ending feels inevitable and surprising.

Translation: As for a divorce, we should stay mum, she announced.

The Kings are open to aGood Wifespinoff!Nothing is off the table, said Michelle King.

Nothing is formal but we are not saying no to anything.

Added Robert King, What would be appealing is if we could find a way to spinoff an ensemble.

We wished we had more time to explore other lives [of their supporting characters].

The final episode ofThe Good Wifewill air on May 8.
