Elsbeth, a spin-off of The Good Wife, starring Carrie Preston premieres this Thursday, February 29, on Global in Canada.
Preston’s Elsbeth Tascioni, who was last seen on The Good Fight, is an astute but unconventional attorney who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.
After leaving her successful legal career in Chicago to tackle a new investigative role in New York City, Elsbeth finds herself jockeying with the toast of the NYPD, Captain C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce; Suits), a charismatic and revered leader. Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson), a stoic and ethical officer who quickly develops an appreciation for Elsbeth’s insightful and offbeat ways.
The season premiere of Elsbeth reunites Preston with her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer. When a college theatre student is mysteriously found dead in her high-rise apartment, Elsbeth immediately suspects foul play and enters a game of wits against the victim’s popular theatre director (Moyer) who she believes is involved. Throughout the evolution of the murder investigation, Elsbeth must balance her consent decree role with the NYPD and her uncommon methods to make her case and uncover the real killer.
In addition to airing on Global and streaming on STACKTV in Canada, Elsbeth will also air on CBS where available and stream on Paramount+ in Canada a week after it airs on Global.
