'The Good Wife' Season 6 Spoilers, News: Ed Asner, Oliver Platt to Guest Star
The cast and producers of "The Good Wife" were at Saturday's PaleyFest panel for the show, and they shared a lot of spoilers for upcoming episodes of the CBS show.
One persistent rumor that has been going around was of CBS planning a spin-off of "The Good Wife." According to People, the producers said that they are not planning one as they are too busy working on the show, which is currently in its sixth season. Furthermore, the show's producers reportedly don't think that their show has the kind of "broad, mainstream appeal" that lends itself to a spin-off, though they did admit that it would be fun to dream up a series for frequent guest stars such as Carrie Preston and Gary Cole, whose characters Elsbeth Tascioni and Kurt McVeigh are fan favorites.
It was also revealed that guest stars Ed Asner, Oliver Platt, and Ron Rifkin will be appearing in future episodes.

As for fans still mourning Josh Charles' Will Gardner, "The Good Wife" co-creator Robert King said that they need not worry about Archie Punjabi's character leaving in a similar fashion, as it has been reported that the actress will leave the show this season.
"[Kalinda] can't go out Will Gardner style because you guys know that she's leaving," said King to People. "Will Gardner style was that no one knew … Since everybody expects it, it's a whole different beast."
Meanwhile, Christine Baransky spoke to TVLine and said that Cole will be back in an upcoming episode, and the actress also gave a hint about Platt's character.
"We go out hunting together, and I meet up with a Republican billionaire [played by Oliver Platt] … It's so great to see that two people can be married and disagree politically, and have a political discourse that doesn't derail the relationship," said Baransky.
"The Good Wife" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on CBS.
