Fans of 'The Good Wife' are set to find out more about Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) personal history when a family member arrives in the next series.

Warning: spoiler alert!

TV Guide.com reports that actor Dallas Roberts has been cast as Alicia's gay brother, Owen.

It reported that he "will not only have an impact on Alicia's future, but will prove to be an important window to her past as one of her oldest confidants".

The show's executive producer David W Zucker said: "I think [creators and executive producers] Robert and Michelle [King] came up with a very sort of compelling and surprising way to introduce her brother into the world that immediately impacts [her] and Peter [husband, played by Chris Noth], and then gets us to explore a little bit of what their history was and how it pertains to their future."
