With the State of the Union Address airing tonight (March 7) and basketball being a major part of the CBS schedule this month, fans are going to have to wait a bit longer for a new episode of the new series Elsbeth starring Carrie Preston.
A trailer airing after the series premiere revealed the next new episode of the show will be airing on Thursday, April 4. Yes, that’s quite a few weeks away. The promo features clips from an episode titled “A Classic New York Character” but it has not yet been confirmed that that will be the second episode to air.
Here are details for that episode and another which is called “Reality Shock,” and as you can see, these two are full of big-name guest stars. Stay tuned to KSiteTV and follow us on Twitter/X for updates as soon as we know more! The new promo can also be seen within this post.
“A Classic New York Character” – After the loathed Co-Op Board President (guest star Linda Lavin) of a luxury pre-war building falls off her balcony to her death, Elsbeth and Kaya are called to the scene to dig for a lead. Things take a shocking turn when the team suspects more than one of her potential enemies could have been behind the murder, including her resident son and Joann (guest star Jane Krakowski), a high-powered Manhattan real estate broker with huge clients and even bigger secrets.

“Reality Shock” – When a larger-than-life reality TV star is found dead in her bathtub, Elsbeth and Kaya investigate the circumstances around her death to determine if it was an accident or murder. As they get deeper into the events surrounding her demise, they meet Skip Mason (guest star Jesse Tyler Ferguson), the mercurial producer behind the popular, guilty-pleasure reality series, “Lavish Ladies,” who becomes a prime suspect after he is accused of going to dangerous lengths to concoct “good TV.” WRITTEN BY: Jonathan Tolins, DIRECTED BY: Ron Underwood
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.
