The Good Wife Season 5 Spoilers: Alicia Ignites 'The Civil War' At Lockhart Gardner, America Ferrera Set To Return

"The Good Wife" season 5 promises to start off with a bang, with spoilers surfacing after the TCA preview today.

"We kind of want to get the audience wet with this difficulty of betraying your firm," says executive producer Robert King.

"It's a sh-- storm. What we want is the quiet before the sh-- storm."

According to TV Guide spoilers, "The Good Wife" season 5 will start the season with Alicia and Cary plotting to leave the Lockhart & Gardner and start their own law firm.

"In her heart of hearts, she thinks it's a smart move," says Julianna Margulies, who plays "The Good Wife" Alicia. "She isn't quite aware of this eruption that's about to happen because of the, basically, war that she's causing at Lockhart/Gardner."

"By running away from something that I think she is so emotionally and physically attracted to, she is creating mayhem, which will be interesting because I don't know how well she does in an emotional situation like that."

With such a core conflict being the focus of season 5, the creative team also says they will scale back on guest stars to spotlight the core cast.

"This year we're intentionally trying to make it more centered on our main cast, by having them lock heads on so many issues," continues King.

"It's more about our team; not as much about all the guest stars coming in."

Even so, one guest star that is confirmed to be returning to "The Good Wife" is America Ferrera, who played Natalie Flores and Eli Gold's love interest in season 2.

"She brings a case into Alicia's law firm that involves immigration and who crosses paths with her is Eli. All these feelings are brought up again and we see a re-sparked relationship. There was a lot of chemistry there and we never felt like we explored it to its fullest because we couldn't get America Ferrera for more than three episodes, so we're going to try to return to it now."

With spoilers involving Ferrera, will Eli Gold finally get a serious love interest this season?

"The Good Wife" season 5 is set to return September 29.
