Carrie Preston Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

The first episode of the new CBS series Elsbeth aired back in late February and now the network is finally airing the second episode!

Elsbeth is airing again tonight (March 14) on CBS, but fans will be seeing a repeat of the pilot instead of getting episode two.

The series premiere of CBS original Elsbeth aired last week, but the second episode won’t be airing until April.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT:This story includes major plot developments on the first episode of “Elsbeth,” airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. On “Elsbeth,” Carrie Preston reprises her Emmy winning role as the eccentrically shrewd attorney Elsbeth Tascioni, a fan favorite character from the CBS drama “The Good Wife” and its Paramount+ spin-off “The Good Fight.” On those shows, Elsbeth’s scatterbrained behavior disarmed her courtroom adversaries — and, just as often, her own clients — only for her to upend everyone’s expectations with some ingenious legal sleight of hand.

Aramide Tinubu Amid an overstuffed television landscape, it takes a lot for a new show to stand out. But following their critically acclaimed series, “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” Robert and Michelle King have long demonstrated they know what is needed to create quality programming. Now, in their new dramedy, “Elsbeth,” with the ingenious Carrie Preston reprising her role as the quirky attorney, the Kings are proving that network TV and the procedural drama, when well-written and perfectly cast, can be outlandish, witty and full of joy.

Elsbeth” star Carrie Preston welcomes comparisons to “Columbo” — which helped inspire series creators Robert and Michelle King to transplant Elsbeth Tascioni from Chicago to New York City.“Robert and Michelle King told me that during the pandemic that they started watching ‘Columbo’ reruns and just loved them and found it comforting,” Preston, 56, told The Post about the ’70s-era series starring Peter Falk as rumpled, trenchcoat-wearing Lt. Columbo, whose scattered appearance belied a brilliant deductive mind.“They thought, ‘Hey, that could be how we could create a new show for Elsbeth Tascioni,'” Preston said.

Innovative Artists, the agency that represents the likes of Amanda Seyfried and Elsbeth star Carrie Preston, is bolstering its unscripted division.

Cynthia Littleton Business Editor The major broadcast networks are trying very hard this year to do what they do best – create franchise drama series built around the adventures of larger-than-life characters. Kathy Bates, Kaitlin Olson, Carrie Preston and Shanola Hampton are among the female actors hoping to click as distinctive protagonists with new series in the 2023-24 season. Bates will bring to life a next-generation “Matlock,” while Preston limns a new chapter for Elsbeth Tascioni, the attorney character she has played on and off on CBS’ “The Good Wife” and Paramount+’s “The Good Fight” since 2010. This is good news for the hundreds of international television buyers heading to Los Angeles for next week’s LA Screenings market. Another welcome development is that the largest media congloms are now on a big push to reopen their doors to third-party buyers, after a few years of holding back the biggest shows for in-house streaming services.

BreAnna Bell CBS has ordered three shows, “Matlock,” “Elsbeth,” and “Poppa’s House” to series for the 2023-2024 broadcast season. The network made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon. Kathy Bates will star and executive produce the “Matlock” reboot which follows a now successful Madeline Matlock (Bates) as she rejoins the work force at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within. The series also stars Skye P. Marshall as Olympia, Jason Ritter as Julian, David Del Rio as Billy, Leah Lewis as Sarah.

CBS has ordered three new series from this year’s crop of pilots.

EXCLUSIVE: Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson have been tapped as leads opposite Carrie Preston in the CBS drama pilot, Elsbeth. This completes the series regular cast for the pilot, from The Good Wife and The Good Fight EPs Robert and Michelle King, which centers on Patterson’s character of Elsbeth Tascioni that was introduced on The Good Wife and also appeared on spinoff The Good Fight.

CBS has made its first comedy pilot order this season, and it went to the network’s script with the highest-profile talent pairing attached, Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. Four months after Deadline broke the news of the father-son project being in development at CBS, the multi-camera comedy, co-written by the elder Wayans and former Last Man Standing executive producer Kevin Hench, remains untitled.

The decline in broadcast pilots continues. CBS has ordered its fewest drama pilots ever in a pilot season, two. Also part of a trend, both are based on IP from established auspices and big-name talent already attached — Robert and Michelle King’s Elsbeth starring Carrie Preston, a police procedural spinoff from the Kings’ The Good Wife/Good Fight universe, and Matlock, a gender swap reboot of the classic legal drama starring Kathy Bates, from Jennie Snyder Urman and Eric Christian Olsen.

Angelique Jackson The hottest sales title at the Toronto Film Festival is officially off the market, with Focus Features landing worldwide distribution rights to Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers,” in a deal worth roughly $30 million. Paul Giamatti stars in the Christmas-themed film that reunites the actor and director for the first time since their Oscar-winning 2004 hit “Sideways.” It will hit theaters in Christmas 2023. In “The Holdovers,” Giamatti portrays Paul Hunham, a universally disliked professor at a prep school called Deerfield Academy. With no family and nowhere to go around the holidays in 1970, he stays on campus to supervise students who couldn’t go home. After a few days, only one person is left: a troublemaking 15-year old named Angus, a good student whose bad behavior always threatens to get him expelled. Along with the school’s head cook Mary (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), whose own son was recently lost in Vietnam, the three form an unlikely bond as they spend Christmas together during two very snowy weeks in New England. The cast also includes Carrie Preston, Gillian Vigman and Tate Donovan. David Hemingson wrote the film’s script script.
