'The Good Wife' returns to CBS with new episodes on Sunday nights. Fans are going to see a guest appearance from the Legendary Ed Asner, while Archie Panjabi is exiting the show but how will producers put her role to end?

TVLine caught up with the executive producers to dish their exit plan for fan favorite character Kalinda played by Archie Panjabi. They ask the producers- Michael and Robert King- if Kalinda will also be killed, as an exit strategy like what happened to Josh Charles' Will Gardner.

"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," said Michael.

Robert 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."

Meanwhile, one of the great things that fans can expect to see for the upcoming episodes is a guest appearance from the legendary Ed Asner. He will be playing a wealthy potential donor named Guy Redmayne, which could be essential to Alicia Florrick's future, at least in her campaign to be State's Attorney.

E! News also reported that executive producers have confirmed that Asner will make a cameo in one more episode later this season. Asner has done variety of roles over the past several years, including "Royal Pains" and "Hawaii Five-0."

'The Good Wife' is not new for bringing back popular guest stars over and over again, like Michael J. Fox, Carrie Preston, Dylan Baker, or David Hyde Pierce this season. The show always tends to get the most out of the big stars who want to appear.
