The show has already been canceled for its eighth season in a row, so no official trailer is available. However, you can find many amazing fan-made trailers, theories, or edits online.
Is Good Wife Renewed for Season 8?
The Court is adjourned for The Good Wife Season 8. Yes, there won’t be any season 8 coming, but CBS is trying to make deals for it. Until now, the show has remained canceled, and we are sure this decision will be final.
However, you have to wait some more time until we get solid proof of its renewal. If any miracle happens and the makers continue the show, we can expect The Good Wife Season 8.
