Alan Cumming to Remain on The Good Wife

Great news for fans of Alan Cumming, entertaining actor, fascinating television - and, oh, the political career of Peter Florrick.

Cumming has signed a new deal with The Good Wife that will keep him on one of TV's best dramas for three more seasons. The British actor will portray campaign strategist Eli Gold through at least season five of the CBS smash.

Of course, CBS hasn't actually renewed the series for such a long period of time, but given its ratings and its critical acclaim, there's little doubt that Eli will be putting out fires for Peter for many years to come.
