The Elsbeth series is a spin-off of two beloved shows from Robert King and Michelle King, but that lineage didn’t translate to big ratings for the show’s first season. It ended up being CBS’ lowest-rated scripted series of 2023-24 to escape cancellation. Will the numbers improve in year two? Will Elsbeth be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A police-procedural comedy-drama series, the Elsbeth TV show is a spin-off of The Good Wife legal and political drama. The series stars Carrie Preston, Wendell Pierce, and Carra Patterson. Guests for season two include Nathan Lane, Robert Riggle, Brittany O’Grady, Vanessa Bayer, Dan Bucatinsky, and Gloria Reuben. The story revolves around Elsbeth Tascioni (Preston), an astute but unconventional attorney. After leaving her successful legal career in Chicago to tackle a new investigative role in New York City, Elsbeth uses her very unique point of view and personality to make astute observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD. She works under Captain C.W. Wagner (Pierce), a charismatic and revered leader. Elsbeth is partnered with Officer Kaya Blanke (Patterson), a stoic and ethical officer who quickly develops an appreciation for Elsbeth’s insightful and offbeat ways.
