Executive producer of "The Good Wife" Robert King also teased some information about the season five closer.
"It's not a cliffhanger in that, 'Oh, which way is Alicia going to choose,'" the EP told TVLine. It's more a cliffhanger in that, 'Oh, now what does that mean? That's an interesting decision.' It's a cliffhanger of a new chapter opening in Alicia's life."
Furthermore, King said that the May 18 finale will lead "The Good Wife" into a "bigger battlefield" for its sixth season this fall, according to TVLine. The CBS drama airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EST. The synopsis for "The One Percent" is as follows: "Alicia manages the fallout when her corporate CEO client's insensitive statements to the press threaten the fate of a multi-billion dollar merger.

The season finale set to air May 18 is entitled "A Weird Year." The synopsis is as follows: "Season 5 ends with Alicia and Cary learning about a threat to the firm when an open feed from a camera is left on following a teleconferences deposition with Lockhart/Gardner.
