In a recent interview, Michelle and Robert King, the showrunners of The Good Wife, spoke about he possibility of Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) dying in the upcoming episodes of the show.

What We Know So Far About The Upcoming Episode of The Good Wife

Speaking to TVLine the duo didn't reject the idea of Kalinda being killed off, even though, they had recently staged a very dramatic death with Will (Josh Gardner). Also, the way things have been set up, with Kalinda having messed with Lemond Bishop, her life has already been put at risk.

"I would say that nothing is off the table and unfortunately, all we can say is that we are hoping to make it seem inevitable yet surprising," Michelle said.

Robert suggested that they were very keyed into how fans' emotions in relation to the characters, and that that would play in to Kalinda's exit in someway. They also said that things were very different with Josh Charles's exit, as the information was leaked and wasn't announced in the press the way Archie Panjabi's exit has, which might affect the way they conclude her character arc.

"The job is a little more difficult this year. We had luck and very good CBS information control in that we were able to hide that Josh Charles was leaving the show [last season]. We don't have that advantage this year," he said. "So, a lot of what we're doing is playing with audience expectations of how [Kalinda's exit] might happen. We're only maybe seven or eight weeks ahead of the audience in what we're shooting and writing, and what's really good about that is you can take into account what their feelings are about episodes, what their feelings are about the arc of the season, and you can even vary it a little. We can't turn water into wine, or black into white, but we can vary the expectations."

The next episode, titled Dark Money, of The Good Wife airs on March 1.
