With the season finale of 'The Good Wife' screened on RTÉ Two last night, one of the people behind the show has revealed what lies ahead for Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) in series two.

Warning: spoiler alert!

Fans in series two will see Alicia a partner in new character Derrick Bond's (Michael Ealy) firm.

The show's executive producer, David W Zucker, told TVGuide.com that Alicia would now face "a whole new intensity of challenges".

He said: "The ink isn't dry on the contract [between Derrick and Alicia]. They've come together out of dual necessity, but they're assessing one another in terms of what the expectations are and orienting to the politics of the office.

"As soon as [Alicia] feels she may have gotten herself on a secure track, suddenly everything gets shifted, which is how things started last year when she discovered the competition."

Zucker also said that Alicia's husband Peter's (Chris Noth) return home would lead to the couple assessing their relationship.

"What is the next manifestation of that relationship?" asked Zucker.

"He's out of jail, he's going to be setting upon what his next professional track will be.

"They are not at all the same people they were before this whole maelstrom began. ... Suddenly they're different people. How does the relationship accommodate that and what does it transform into?"
