Speaking to the TVLine, the couple stated that they might still stay on in a supervisory role on the show, but when it comes to writing those spectacular storylines they are pretty much done.

"The bottom line is CBS is trying to make deals for an eighth season, so we would be there in a supervisory role, but the storytelling we have will finish in the seventh year," Robert said. "That doesn't mean we're putting Alicia in her grave, because you couldn't do an eighth season after that. But to our minds, we have always written with the idea we could end this season a certain way so that it would make it a satisfactory [conclusion to the] series.

"But we don't own it," he added. "But we understand completely CBS' interest in it."

The duo have infact signed onto write a new project for CBS.

Earlier this year, Variety reported that the showrunners of The Good Wife were set to write a new show for CBS. The report revealed that the new show, Braindead, will air next summer and will have a run of 13 episodes in the first season.

Showrunners Robert and Michelle King also dished about the show in a press statement. "We wanted to do a show that was a mix of genre-pulp and highbrow politics - 'The Strain' crossed with 'The West Wing,'" the Kings said. "It seemed like the best way to address the news today - not straight, but as the opening act of a horror movie."

The next episode, titled 'Tracks,' will air on January 17 on CBS.
