The Elsbeth series has been a middle-of-the-road performer for CBS in total viewership and last season, it was one of the network’s lowest-rated scripted shows in the demo. Will its ratings be good enough to keep it on the air? Will Elsbeth be cancelled or renewed for season four? 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 and Wendell Pierce. Guests for season three include former series regular Carra Patterson, as well as Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, Andy Richter, Lindsay Mendez, Julia Fox, William Jackson Harper, Annaleigh Ashford, Sarah Steele, Tony Hale, Dianne Wiest, and Lois Smith. 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.
