The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies possibly gave away a major detail about the CBS legal drama.

Speaking at an event honoring Kings at the Casting Society of America's third annual Artios Awards, Margulies revealed that she would be out of work very soon.

"I surprised Robert and Michelle tonight," she said. "They didn't know I was going to be here. They think I'm here for them, but I'm unemployed come April, and I think you haven't seen me in a while, at least not in person, so I thought I should show up."

Previously, after news broke that the creators of The Good Wife are set to stop writing for the show after season 7, rumours about this chapter being the last took over.

Deadline recently explored the possibility with CBS Entertainment President Glenn Geller. According to Geller the Kings leaving did not imply that this would be end of the critically acclaimed legal drama, revealing that they had a lot of rich talent to tap into.

"The Kings did say they would not be returning after this year, but we have a deep bench on the show," he said.

He went on to hint that the fate of the show depended on the new projects CBS will be trying out. So somewhere the continuation of the show was also linked to the success of upcoming pilots. Geller suggested that after considering the new pilots they will take a decision, and The Good Wife "can certainly continue."

The latest episode, titled 'Tracks,' aired on January 17 on CBS.
