For the second season in a row, The Good Wife is set to lose another main cast member. Last year, it was Josh Charles, who chose to leave the hit CBS series and who was written out when his character of Will Gardner was gunned down in a courtroom. Now, it’s Archie Panjabi. The Emmy winner, whose contract runs out at the end of The Good Wife Season 6 , will depart the drama in May in order anchor a pilot for 20th Century Fox Television that will film some time in the spring. The Good Wife showrunners Robert and Michelle King confirmed Panjabi’s departure in a joint statement. It reads: “Archie is an amazing actress who helped build Kalinda from the ground up as an enigmatic, powerful and sexy character. It’s been a pleasure to write for her, and we’ll be sad to see her go; but we still have her for the rest of season six, so let’s not exhaust our goodbyes yet. We look forward to meeting all the wonderful new characters Archie brings to the screen. “But either way, we’re keeping the boots.” Panjabi has starred as investigator Kalinda Sharma since The Good Wife pilot. Her role, however, has diminished over the course of the series, especially once her friendship with Alicia was permanently altered by the bombshell that Kalinda slept with Peter many years ago. In fact, Panjabi has not shared a scene with Julianna Margulies since Season 4. Still, she’ll be missed.
