It took about 14 years but Carrie Preston is finally playing her dream role full-time.
Carrie Preston poses for a portrait to promote her series “Elsbeth” on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024, in New York. Preston stars in the new CBS procedural “ Elsbeth,” as Elsbeth Tascioni, a gifted attorney with a sharp eye for detail who is easily distracted. She also possesses joie de vivre and does not put on airs. Make no mistake though, Elsbeth is usually the smartest person in the room.
Preston won a guest actor Emmy Award in 2013 for her portrayal of the character on “The Good Wife.” Elsbeth also appeared in multiple episodes of its spin-off for Paramount+ called “The Good Fight,” starring Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald. “We realized what’s fun about ‘Columbo’ is him being underestimated and him kind of not being able to control how smart he was,” said Robert King.“Elsbeth” debuted in February, took a break, and returns this week with two new episodes. The show will air a new episode weekly into May.
Aside from being set in a new city, “Elsbeth” is written for a broader network audience and avoids the kind of political storylines that drove “The Good Fight” in particular. “Elsbeth has the added advantage of the misogyny that comes of lower expectations just because she’s a woman and sort of a ditzy woman,” said Robert King. “Her ditzy-ness is not an act in our minds. It’s kind of connected to her problem solving.”
