After 156 episodes spanning seven seasons, the CBS drama will conclude on May 8.
Read on for five things we learned from the chat.
The show is ending because its time.
For showrunner Robert King, the decision came down to plot limitations.
It felt like a show that you had to end, he explained.
It didnt feel like a show that you could keep having crazy things happen to you.
At a certain point, you escape the realm of probability.
Meanwhile, Czuchry is thankful the Kings can end their story on their own terms.
You dont always get that with television shows.
Its too soon to discuss a spin-off.
With fans anticipating a spin-off, Goldblatt offered some options:The Good CaryorCarry On.
Its such a tough question to ask right now because we just finished on Monday, he said.
On a personal level, were all trying to gain closure on something that we experienced for seven years.
And its not a way to avoid the answer.
Its going to take an equal amount to decompress and cleanse from that experience.
Alicia is not really drinking red wine.
If youve ever thought Alicia was tipsy, lets attribute it solely to Margulies superb acting chops.
I wish it was red wine, she said of whats really in her glass as she films scenes.
Its Welchs grape juice.
I mean, honestly especially if you start in the morning.
With a 6 a.m. call, you get to set.
By 7:30, youve had a gallon of Welchs grape juice.
Its a good sugar high.
Fans have made the actors crack up.
And a man was in line behind us.
I think this was year three of the show …
This man grabbed my arm and said, Im in the middle of a divorce.
You must come to court on Monday.'
But Czuchry has a story too graphic for primetime.
I got recognized in a locker room one time in a gym by a naked man, he said.
And I was sitting down and he was standing up.
He lovedThe Good Wife.
Things were flopping in all sorts of directions.
That was a pretty good one.
I have no idea what he said to me, by the way.
Alicias happy ending is not guaranteed.
Still, even as Alicia plans her divorce from Gov.
Is there any chance were getting a happy ending for her?
Goldblatt asked Michelle King.
Theres always a chance, she answered.
But if you ask me, Is there a chance theres going to be an unhappy ending for her?
Id give you the same answer.
The remaining episodes ofThe Good Wifeair Sundays at 9 p.m.
