Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) may be about to work her last case in New York in the CBS drama’s May 23 finale, or, well, so she thinks. Elsbeth has been renewed for Season 2, but Captain Wagner’s (Wendell Pierce) declaration, that he wants her to go back to Chicago after an arrest was made in the corruption case against him (Lieutenant Noonan had been using his name), could mean some major changes. Besides, Elsbeth doesn’t even necessarily want to return to Chicago! “I think she’s really found a new life and a new beginning reinvention, so to speak, of herself in New York, and so the thought of going back is pretty daunting to her,” Preston tells TV Insider. “She really wants to stay put. When you leave home for college, you don’t really want to go back and sleep on your parents’ couch. At least I didn’t.

With the first season’s finale coming in already this week, Elsbeth has surely cemented its status as one of the CBS’ top shows in the upcoming years. Ever since it hit the network in February, the series has been a top-notch detective story that eventually received a pretty deserved renewal for yet another season.
Though the detective genre isn’t something uncommon on modern TV with all the diversity of versatile characters embarking on their proper investigations, there’s still something very unique that Elsbeth brings into the genre, and the series’ showrunner knows exactly what his brainchild’s zest is.
Initially introduced in a cameo role in the 2009 political drama show The Good Wife, Elsbeth’s eponymous character now comes up on the main stage proving that she’s far more than just an observer.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 9 “Sweet Justice.”] Revenge may be sweet, but justice? It’s even sweeter and more satisfying. The penultimate episode of the season-long investigation into corruption—Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) was sent to New York to keep an eye on Wagner (Wendell Pierce)—ends with a major arrest. Wagner is, of course, not corrupt but rather, it turned out, a lieutenant and his close friend, Noonan (Fredric Lehne), was—and using his name! Thanks to a well-placed bug, Elsbeth and Wagner were able to follow him to catch him in the act. But once that was done, Wagner had one last move to make: to tell Elsbeth to return to Chicago. Below, Pierce breaks down the emotional episode and teases what’s ahead in the finale. How satisfying was it for Wagner to tell Noonan, “That’s why I got the job and you didn’t”? Wendell Pierce: Especially with...

While there are many fans of the procedural and mystery genre, not all of them were impressed when they first tuned in to Elsbeth. The show knows its niche and fits it perfectly: it has a quirky yet ingenious detective who struggles a bit with mundane tasks but solves the toughest cases brilliantly.
The show doesn't have to be realistic to be entertaining, that much is true. Viewers who have already fallen in love with the main character are willing to forgive some of the writing hiccups that the show undoubtedly has. However, in order to keep the audience intrigued and excited, Elsbeth will soon have to break the only formula she's been using.

Within the past week, Jennifer Jason Leigh (“Fargo”) lost and then regained her first place position on our Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actress Emmy odds chart. She is being given a run for her money by small screen newcomer Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), who maintained general frontrunner status from May 9-12 and is still our experts’ pick to win, as has been the case since May 3.
A week ago, Reis was also our editors’ predicted winner, but they have since gravitated back toward Leigh. Based on the forecasts of 2,400+ Gold Derby users, both women currently have 6/1 odds in their race, with their closest competitor being Aja Naomi King (“Lessons in Chemistry”) at 15/2.
The temporary toppling of Leigh occurred three weeks after “Shōgun” overtook “Fargo” in the Best Limited Series race. Since then, the consensus among our readers has been that the latter show’s best shot...

Who doesn’t like a lighthearted show with a goofy main character who is a little irritating but still extremely lovable? Well, we dare you to find at least one person who would say no to a series with a lead like that.

Makeup design doesn’t always mean prosthetics or extremes — that’s why the Emmy Awards smartly single out contemporary makeup design as its own category. But too often, those more immediately arresting designs are the ones that get all the attention. Not anymore. Join IndieWire in celebrating the makeup artists creating subtle, character-specific work for contemporary shows.
Elsbeth Tascioni has been around for three series now. Carrie Preston introduced the most upbeat litigator of all time with the finesse of a drunken master on “The Good Wife” (winning an Emmy Award for her guest appearance) and reprised the role on the spinoff series “The Good Fight.” Now, the character gets her own CBS series with “Elsbeth,” from “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight” creators Michelle King and Robert King, in which her defense attorney acts as an oddball crime solver while acting as a legal observer for an NYPD consent decree.

More than a decade after winning a guest acting Emmy for her work as quirky lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni on CBS’s “The Good Wife,” Carrie Preston is now seeking lead category recognition for reprising the character on the same network’s “Elsbeth.” If she is included the upcoming Best Drama Actress lineup, she will make Emmys history as the first performer ever nominated as a lead for a winning dramatic guest role.
Preston was awarded the 2013 Best Drama Guest Actress Emmy for her seventh of 14 “Good Wife” appearances, which were spread over six seasons. After landing a second bid for that series in 2016, she showed up in five episodes of the Paramount+ spinoff “The Good Fight,” with her last appearance occurring one month before the series finale in November 2022. “Elsbeth” premiered this February and has already been renewed for a second season.

CBS’ big hit police procedural drama show Elsbeth is wrapping up its first season run, but isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Coming as an unofficial The Good Wife’s spinoff, Elsbeth owes its renewal for yet another season to its compelling plot and some past connections to the 2009 political drama starring Julianna Margulies.
As the show still has its television run and keeps teasing the grand finale, Elsbeth’s main star opened up about one guest star that she would like to have on the show’s set. Fair to say that the actress’ desire coincides with the one of quite a lot of fans across the world.
Talking about the show’s finale at CBS’ fall schedule reveal party last week, Elsbeth Tascioni’s actress Carrie Preston revealed that “it would be really cool” to have Julianna Margulies as a guest star in the show’s next season.

One of the most important things in any TV show is its main characters, and when the story is designed to follow only one person, the stakes are even higher for them. With an ensemble cast, viewers are much more forgiving of some narrative holes, but when the entire plot revolves around a single poorly written character, the problems begin.
While some of the Elsbeth viewers have already met the titular character, the show has attracted many new viewers looking for a lighthearted yet intriguing setup. However, these new Elsbeth fans have struggled to understand Elsbeth's personality.
Is Elsbeth a Spinoff?
As a spinoff of two previously released TV shows, Elsbeth's premise relies heavily on information that viewers have already been given. Although Elsbeth Tascioni has always been a secondary character, her quirky and sweet personality has charmed enough viewers to create an entire spinoff to get to know her better.

Among all the genres that exist today on TV, we can name only a few that keep attracting viewers with its every new show. One of them is definitely a detective drama or any sort of a police drama. But with the recent desire to present everything in dark colors, it seems that CBS’s new show is right what we needed today.
We are talking about Elsbeth, the new spinoff of a popular series The Good Wife, following one of its characters, the goofy Elsbeth Tascioni, brilliantly played by Carrie Preston. She moved to New York to observe her NYPD colleagues at work and maybe catch a criminal or two herself.
Of course, as the genre suggests, she ended up meddling in every possible case herself, immediately realizing who was the criminal and offering her help to detectives and being surprised when they politely (or not) declined the offer.

There is no show that everyone doesn't love, because every idea has its own audience. The hard part is finding it among the many cable TV viewers and capturing their attention. Elsbeth, a 2024 addition to the CBS schedule, managed to find its own audience and has already been renewed for a second season thanks to its performance.
However, just like any other show, it received a fair share of critical reviews, all pointing out the repetition in the way Elsbeth handles cases. Hopefully, armed with the feedback from the audience, the team behind the show will make it even more exciting in season 2.

The quirky character of Elsbeth Tascioni originated in the universe of The Good Wife and got so much attention that she got her own TV series. Portrayed by Carrie Preston, Elsbeth is the kind of character you'd want to hang out with after a long day at work.

For any fan of the detective genre, CBS' Elsbeth is truly a breath of fresh air. If you, like us, are tired of grumpy and sarcastic leading detectives, Ms. Tascioni is here to save you, just you wait when she's finished checking out all those lovely New York City sites!
A spinoff for The Good Wife, Elsbeth works as a solo show for Carrie Preston's character for many reasons. It's light-hearted, it's exciting, it's fun even, and many fans are already comparing it to Columbo — a 1971 detective show that also never bothered to keep its secrets and entertained people just by showing them the main detective finding his way to the truth.
However, one particular detail about Elsbeth season 1 is starting to drive fans crazy. Watch out for heavy spoilers ahead!

Is the truth about what lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) is really doing working with the NYPD—ostensibly there as an outside observer, but really investigating Captain C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce) for possible corruption—about to come out? The April 25 episode of Elsbeth sounds like it will take at least one character one step closer. In “An Ear for an Ear,” after one of New York’s most sought-after plastic surgeons is found dead, Elsbeth has her eye on the victim’s former boss, Dr. Vanessa Holmes (Gina Gershon), who she believes has motives that are more than skin-deep. Also, Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson) keeps tabs on Elsbeth’s whereabouts as her investigation into Captain Wagner heats up. Right now, is Kaya more suspicious of Elsbeth or genuinely enjoying getting to know and work with her? “It changes scene to scene in this episode,” Patterson tells TV Insider.

Having not released a film since 2017’s Downsizing, director Alexander Payne follows up what is considered the weakest film of his career with an absolutely wonderful work.

For a long time, shows with a goofy main character were received perfectly by the audience. Easy storylines, lighthearted characters and a lot of dumb situations that seemed deeper when you had a better look at them.
So the writers Michelle King and Robert King decided to reuse the formula and create something of that sort in 2024. That’s how Elsbeth was born. The series revolves around a woman named Elsbeth Tascioni, brilliantly played by Carrie Preston. She is this typical offbeat weirdo of a person who always finds herself out of sync with other people.
The thing is she is also an astute attorney, who despite being very unconventional still managed to find a way to bring the world to justice. Because of her methods of work her colleagues always find her annoying and don’t trust her. But she still puts her heart out there every day.

If there is one thing viewers can count on when they tune in to Elsbeth, it's that the show wastes no time getting to the meat of the story.
Sadly, there is no meet-cute in Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 4, despite the presence of a matchmaker.
First and foremost, audiences are treated to the uniquely hilarious presence of matchmaker Margo, played by comedian and actress Retta.
She brings her always perfectly timed comedic chops from Parks and Recreations and Good Girls right over to Elsbeth.
I will continue searching, but you've gotta understand finding a man who spends his free time protecting the coral reef, has good teeth, and flies private takes time.

The formulaic approach of Elsbeth to cast episodic murderers with well-known faces is becoming a staple of the show that I fully support.

Fans of Elsbeth Tascioni, rejoice! The quirky and brilliant lawyer from The Good Wife and The Good Fight continues her adventures in her own detective series, Elsbeth. Creators Robert and Michelle King drew inspiration for the spin-off from an unlikely source: rewatching the classic detective show Columbo during the pandemic. Carrie Preston reprises her Emmy-winning role, infusing Elsbeth with the same lovable charm as she pivots from the courtroom to the crime scene. She assists the NYPD in murder investigations, bringing her unique skills and unconventional methods to the table. Preston was already on board with a potential Elsbeth-centric show even before the pitch, having noticed the Columbo comparisons herself.

Elsbeth is about to show a softer side to Captain Wagner (Wendell Pierce), and you’re going to love how the charming, quirky, and just plain fun show does that. The April 11 episode introduces Wagner’s wife, Claudia (Gloria Reuben), and from her first scene, you can immediately see why she fits in so well into Wagner’s world and is good about separating him from it. Also in the episode, “Love Knocked off,” Retta guest stars as an elite matchmaker who goes to extreme lengths to keep her socialite client from finding out the truth about her perfect new husband. When he goes missing, Captain Wagner assigns Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) and Kaya (Carra Patterson) to investigate. Below, Reuben introduces us to Claudia and talks about working with Preston and Pierce. Over the first few episodes, we’ve mostly seen the gruff side of Wagner, but his wife is very different.
