The Good Wife is certain to be canceled.
When network execs say a show will continue, it’s meaningless.
When the star of a show says it’s over, it’s over.
Given that the reaper is now predicting that three CBS non-rookie dramas are certain to be canceled, and he can’t imagine that CBS will cancel four in a single season, he’s also moved his prediction for Hawaii Five-0 up to likely to be renewed.

The Reaper Index is the ratio of a scripted show’s new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It’s calculated by dividing a show’s new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show’s own network. The network’s average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
