And the speculation was confirmed that The Good Wife was coming to an end during a Super Bowl commercial.

The eventful match saw Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos win with a 24-10 victory over Cam Newton's Carolina Panthers.

'Seven seasons, hundreds of twists... but the biggest Good Wife surprise yet,' the advert teased during Sunday's big game.

The 49-year-old Golden Globe winner was attending the Casting Society of America’s Artios Awards and gave a pretty strong indication she may be leaving the show.

When she took to the podium and explained why she was at the event, she said she was supporting the Kings, as reported by Vulture.

'I surprised Robert and Michelle tonight,' Julianna said. 'They didn't know I was going to be here.'

'They think I’m here for them, but I’m unemployed come April, and I think you haven’t seen me in a while, at least not in person, so I thought I should show up.'

Don't let it be over! Fan's were predictably upset to hear the news

'Game is meh' ; Another wasn't impressed with the news

The Good Wife first aired in September 2009 and will air the final nine episodes beginning February 14 and will conclude May 8.

Fans were predictably upset about the end of the show, and took to Twitter to voice their dismay the much loved program was finishing.

One devastated viewer tweeted: 'omggg the good wife us ending after this season' with crying face emoticons.

Saving grace: Some were hoping the half-time performance would cheer them up

Another said: '#TheGoodWife news is killing my #SuperBowl buzz. Counting on Bey and Bruno to bring it back.'

There was also the comment: 'CBS canceling #The GoodWife with a #SuperBowl ad is pretty ironic given the fan base hatred for football games delaying the show so much.'

Meanwhile some came up with funny memes - showing Coldplay apparently crying over the end of the series.
