A whole slew of guest stars – Laura Benanti as model Nadine Clay, André De Shields as fashion designer Matteo Hart, and a cameo from Tim Gunn as himself – can all be found in the season finale of Elsbeth airing tonight (May 23) on CBS. The title for the season finale is, appropriately enough, “A Fitting Finale” and with the ratings and reviews for Elsbeth being so good, we can expect Season 2 to come in our future. Some photos and a description for the season finale can be found below; do note that Elsbeth airs at a special earlier time of 9PM ET/PT tonight.
When an unlikable fashion photographer is murdered in the middle of a fashion show, Elsbeth and the team suspect the killer to be either the photographer’s college ex – and leading model of the show, Nadine (Laura Benanti) – or her jealous husband. Meanwhile, Elsbeth’s role at the precinct is thrown into question, on the first season finale of the CBS Original series ELSBETH, Thursday, May 23 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*. André De Shields also guest stars as fashion designer Matteo Hart and Tim Gunn cameos as himself.

ELSBETH stars Emmy Award winner Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni, 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), 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. ELSBETH is based on the character featured in THE GOOD WIFE and THE GOOD FIGHT.
