We hate it when our favourite shows come to an end, and now Julianna Margulies' The Good Wife is heading to the TV graveyard.

CBS made the announcement during the Superbowl last night, telling fans that the hit legal drama will end after this season.

They promoted the last season, saying it has "hundreds of twists."

"But the biggest Good Wife surprise yet…This is the final season. The final nine episodes begin next Sunday," the promo said.

"Telling the story of the Education of Alicia Florrick is the creative dream of a lifetime. It was always our plan to tell it over 7 seasons. We wanted the story to have a beginning, middle, and an end," said the shows creators.

"We are forever grateful to our fans, cast and crew and CBS. We're excited to celebrate the final 9 eps and bring the story to its natural conclusion. Here's a spoiler: the last episode will be called 'End.' Thank you for a GREAT ride!! R & M."
