The jury has delivered a verdict and the judge has given out a sentence: The Good Wife is CANCELLED.

CBS’s hit legal drama will finish its run with its current season, CBS has announced, and the final episode will air on May 8th, ending a 22 episode 7th season.

The series has suffered from a lot of speculation, with many tabloids asserting that lead actress Julianna Margulies, who plays Alicia Florrick, is difficult and has directly caused the departure of several actors, producers and writers. The Good Wife was set to lose its showrunners at the end of the current season, and Matthew Goode, Josh Charles and Archie Panjabi are just some of the actors that have quit the hit CBS series in recent years.
