Having a relatively successful show on a different network won't prevent Matthew Perry from returning to "The Good Wife."
CBS announced on Friday (November 9) afternoon that Perry is set to reprise his "Good Wife" role in an episode to air in 2013.
Perry appeared in multiple episodes last season as Mike Kresteva, a Chicago attorney who butted heads with Alicia on a blue ribbon panel involving a police shooting and then decided to run for governor against Peter. Perry popped up fleetingly in the premiere in an attack ad focused on Peter.
While the end of last "Good Wife" season set Perry's character up as a potentially key adversary for the Florrick family, the "Friends" veteran's NBC's comedy "Go On" was ordered to series, reducing his availability. Perry's availability was reduced even more by NBC's speedy full-season pickup for the support group sitcom.
Stay tuned for a specific date for Perry's "Good Wife" return.

November 9, 2012 at 11:40PM EST Reply to CommentCurious to see what you think of this season's crop of Good Wife episodes thus far Dan. I thought Amanda Peet's recent episode was pretty solid, but the setup for Maura Tierney's character has felt rushed... and the obsurdity of the Kalinda storyline (which is normally a 7-8) has broken the scale this year several times over.
Ope
November 10, 2012 at 9:36AM EST Reply to CommentI agree Evolution. After all the suspense they built up re: Kalinda's husband last season, and now it is so annoying end repetitive. Every time they have a scene together I scream 'kill him already'. I cannot believe how badly this has been handled by the writers.
