'The Good Wife' Season 3 Pick-Up Looks Good, Star Josh Charles 'Excited' for Next Year

Will 'The Good Wife' return for a season 3? You bet, according to series star Josh Charles. While he hasn't been given the official word, Charles said the cast will be appearing at CBS's Upfront presentation next week.

"We're going to the Upfronts next week," Charles told AOL TV. "I'm imagining they're not inviting us to tell us we're not picked up, you know?"

"I never understand this whole machine," he said. "I think last year we knew before, but [for] whatever reason we don't know. I guess nothing's a guarantee, but all indications seem like we'll most certainly be back next year."

Charles said the writers have already been planning the big stories for season 3. One of the first major arcs will delve into Will Gardner's past, particularly items brought up by Blake (Scott Porter).

"I'm excited about next year," he said.

Stay tuned to AOL TV for the complete Josh Charles interview, filled with lots of finale and character dish.
