Though it’s never been hit in the ratings, CBS has been renewing The Good Wife year after year. Will this be the season when the show’s luck runs out or will it be the biggest year yet? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season? We shall see.
On The Good Wife, attorney and mother Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) continues to face new challenges and opportunities in both her personal and professional lives. The series also stars Christine Baranski, Matt Czuchry, Archie Panjabi, Graham Phillips, Makenzie Vega, Alan Cumming, Zach Grenier, and Matthew Goode.
The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. New ratings data will be added as it becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/11 update: CBS has renewed The Good Wife for a seventh season.
Final season averages: 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.72 million total viewers.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see it here.
Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a couple weeks later.
Last year comparison: The fifth season of The Good Wife averaged a 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.4 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like The Good Wife TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?

I love, love the God wife. Please don’t take it off the air. I can’t wait each Sunday for it to come on.
Sincerely,

Yes the show be renewed. Beefing up Alicia’s love life is making the series much more interesting.
I was disappointed in this past season. I would like to strangle he writers!! Too many episodes written about racial issues! Talk about writer’s block! Can’t they come up with better story lines?!? I’m so sick of racial crap! I would be just fine with this series being cancelled. I think it has run its course!
Brilliant writing. The multi-layered show includes daily strains, strings, stains, stardom, stark, sunshine and motherhood. More, more, more, please.
Love The Good Wife. Best ever!
I enjoy the show very much. I would like to see the show continue.
The problem with using the 18-29 demographic is that the show is a huge favorite with the 40-70 demographic — with much more sophistication : and BUYING power! I know: we and our friend in this group are dedicated viewers and advocates for others to tune in!
Started marathon watching The Good Wife on Hulu, then watched season 6 weekly on regular TV. Love it. Yes, season 7 please with more about the mysterious Kalinda…. Also Cary, and the relationship between Alicia and husband, and a little less about her law cases.
I adore The Good Wife, its weekly “water cooler” talk for me and several friends… We love it….hope it returns for a seventh season
I love this show. Hard to record due to over time on sports shows. CBS needs to find a way to not mess up the Sunday time schedule so shows start on time. This show never gets old. The plots are always great, excellent dialogues, and superb acting. Why stop a great show. There are so many ways the story line can go next season.
