There will be lots of drama in Season 7 of "The Good Wife" as Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) steps up to support her husband's presidential campaign. Meanwhile, Alan Cumming revealed that Eli Gold's "head explodes."

During an interview with Deadline, Cumming opened up about what fans can expect in the new season of the CBS drama, teasing that his character will be "opening up a can of whoop-*ss."

The series star went on to say that once Peter Florrick (Chris North) launches his presidential campaign, "Eli's head explodes in Season 7, but not in the way you all may think." He added, "The episodes we've shot so far are the most fun I've had playing him in all seven seasons."

The Emmy-nominated actor went on to say that he loves when his character "drops his pants and asks people to kiss his *ss. It doesn't really get much better than that, though he hasn't done it for a few seasons - hint, hint!"
