It kind of plays on that Portal installation that was in New York last year, and it changed the pace of the investigation this time around. How was it from your point of view in filming this remote investigation, so to speak? CARRIE PRESTON: It was really challenging technically, but really fulfilling creatively. We had Robert King, who's the creator of the show, directing, so that was really fun because we knew we were in great hands with him. He's always like a kid in the candy store whenever he directs. He just relishes it. He spends a lot of time in the writers’ room, so it's so fun when he gets to actually be boots on the ground. So, he had all these wonderful ideas about how to shoot it and what to do with the technical challenges. Then I had Ioan Gruffudd, who was incredible, who was coming in to play this new little love interest. We had to shoot those scenes at the Portal on two totally different days. We had to do all of the Scotland stuff first, and then he and I would rehearse in front of [what] was basically like a big, giant picture frame the size of what the Portal is. He would just be standing in it, or sometimes it would be a green screen plug in there, depending on what the shot was going to be. So he and I would rehearse so that we got really comfortable with what the other one was going to do, because once rehearsal was done, then we had to act with just the camera with the voice of whoever was doing the scene behind the camera. So I couldn't see him whenever I was actually finally doing the scenes with him, but I had the memory of what we had just rehearsed. So we did all the Scotland stuff first, and then it was a week before we did my side, but it was kind of great because those scenes then kind of percolated in my mind, so by the time we got to my side of it, I felt like I got a little second chance at the scenes, which you don't usually get on TV. * * * I want to talk about working with Ioan Gruffudd as this new love interest for Elsbeth. You did get to work with him prior to him coming to New York to see her. Was that done in that order, so you had the time to build up that dynamic prior to shooting their actual face-to-face meeting? PRESTON: Yes. Thankfully, the scheduling worked to our advantage in that we did his, the Scotland stuff, first, earlier in the schedule, like almost at the beginning of the schedule, and then my stuff with him, including meeting him in person, was towards the end of the schedule. So that did help us this time. You can tell that our relationship was building. Sometimes, we have to start with the last thing first, and that's always very hard to do, especially for the guest stars because they've never been on the show before and they're playing a character they've never played. I've been playing this character for 15 years, so it's not an even playing ground. But in this case, we did get to build it together. It really did come through because, by the time I got to the end of the episode, I was giggling like I was watching a rom-com. PRESTON: Yay! It was a rom-com episode. * * * We've never seen Elsbeth in this kind of mutually flirty space before. A lot of firemen think she's cute, but it's never been a reciprocal thing. Then she's got this friendship-turned-something-more with this charming musician/fireman. What was it like getting to play this side of the character, and how did you make it uniquely Elsbeth in your process? PRESTON: I think the last time we saw her embroiled in any kind of romance was during The Good Wife, when she had the spark with Josh Perotti, who was played by Kyle MacLachlan. We were guests and visitors in that universe, so it had a certain tone to it. Then with this, we really wanted to honor the tone of our show, but also maybe add—or at least I did—that this feels a little more like a more serious connection and not just a kind of work spar that turns into a one-night stand. So I think, because our show is really making Elsbeth more three-dimensional, that made sense. Also, it's the Valentine's Day episode, so we knew that we wanted to make something that would make everybody's hearts melt a little bit, and so I hope that we accomplished that. I'm a big romance person, and I can say yes, absolutely. I'm hoping he comes back. PRESTON: [Laughs] Even the crew was like, “Aww!” They were standing around the monitor and going, “Aww,” rooting for the two of them.

Parker, best known for her star turn in Showtime’s “Weeds,” will play Spoiler Freya, a decluttering guru with a minimalist lifestyle brand and a controlling personality. “When her husband threatens her perfect sense of balance, she murders him to keep the third in their throuple all to herself,” reads the logline. Grier, who currently stars in the NBC sitcom “St. Denis Medical,” takes on the role of Spoiler Arthur Greene Jr., the highly professional owner of a family mortuary that caters to the one percent. Per CBS, “Discretion is everything to Arthur, so when his conspiracy-minded nephew threatens to unearth the truth about a famous author’s botched funeral, he does what must be done to keep the secret buried.” Edited February 19 by tv echo 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143840-media-thread-for-elsbeth/page/4/#findComment-8585187

Elsbeth, played by Carrie Preston, is a sleuth in bright colors and a bucket hat, blunt and unpredictable, playing off the guest star of the week. Tolins says the writers and camera crew try not to make her feel like the show’s lead, even though she’s the very title. * * * “I said early on that I think the show works best when it feels like a CBS police procedural with Elsbeth thrown into it,” he says. “We talked about always keeping her sort of out of the center of the frame in wide shots.” * * * Tolins, who leads the “Elsbeth” writing room, recently got some nice feedback about his elevated procedural skills. CBS did a focus group about the new season’s premiere episode, which starred — spoilers — Nathan Lane as the killer of an obnoxious operagoer. “One of the women who saw it afterwards kept saying, ‘This is network? I’m going to have to watch more network television,’ which of course was very, very satisfying for all of us listening,” Tolins says.

What delightful news! If there is a broadcast show more entertaining than this, I haven’t watched it. The acting is always superb. Not just the main cast, but the guests. Hopefully, this very well-done comedy/mystery can score some guest acting nods (Michael Emerson, Matthew Broderick) or perhaps one for Carrie Preston! Also: Ben Levi Ross, who plays Elsbeth’s son, is such a likable character. The perfect actor for the role. I would love it if he was featured more often. And the Valentine’s episode was so special! The murder being witnessed halfway across the globe was a unique twist, and the romantic ending gives hope the appealing Ioan Gruffudd will return. — Fred Matt Roush: Others, including Lori T., wrote in after the Valentine episode to enquire, “Any chance Ioan Gruffudd will have a recurring role?” The answer for now: probably not, at least not for now, though I enjoyed Elsbeth addressing the Scottish elephant in the room when she announced in the following episode, “We’ll see each other again when the time’s right.” Also seconding the love for Ben Levi Ross as Teddy, all signs that Elsbeth is successfully expanding its world while also playing around with formula, which I heartily approve.

By Tom Smyth March 7, 2025 https://www.vulture.com/article/elsbeth-david-fincher-cameo.html Quote Normally, when you’re watching an episode of Elsbeth, Elsbeth is the one having hunches. But during last night’s episode of the CBS procedural, audiences might have caught a brief secret voice cameo and thought, Wait, is that David Fincher? At least, you might have if you’ve watched the Gone Girl director’s commentary as many times as I have (specifically the part where he talks about Ben Affleck shutting down production for four days because he refused to wear a Yankees cap). In the episode, titled “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant,” Elsbeth finds herself digging into a decades-old Mafia murder that she suspects wasn’t as cut-and-dried as everybody thinks. A breakthrough in her investigation comes upon watching the director’s commentary for the famous film about the case, City on a Knife Edge, in which the director, Francis Martino, drops a key detail about one of Elsbeth’s suspects (played by Alyssa Milano doing her best Carmela Soprano impression). Since Elsbeth loves an iconic guest star, it would only make sense that the series would turn to an actual famous director known for his commentaries to take on the role. In addition to sharing a suspiciously similar voice, Fincher and Martino also both use their DVD commentaries to vent about unprofessional demands being made of them — in Martino’s case, it was the mob requesting that he cut an incriminating scene — but at least Affleck didn’t leave a dead rat on Fincher’s doorstep.

Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds, The West Wing) guest stars in 'Hot Tub Crime Machine'—what a truly tremendous name for an episode—airing Thursday, April 3, at 10 PM ET/PT, as a woman whose tidy philosophy doesn’t quite match up with the chaos surrounding her husband's untimely death.

Freya’s minimalist lifestyle and seemingly controlled demeanor stand in stark contrast to her involvement in a "throuple" relationship—how very modern of them—and Elsbeth’s instinct tells her that Freya may be hiding more than just clutter under all this mess. Of course, the case will unfold in the classic Elsbeth fashion with her very pointed and quirky observations peeling back the layers of Freya's apparently perfect life as we figure out if she's just a grieving wife, or if she has something to gain from her husband's sudden demise? * * * Edited March 11 by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143840-media-thread-for-elsbeth/page/4/#findComment-8604136

More importantly, he sees a path for his appearance on the show, but it depends on the right circumstances. Colter also noted that Michael Emerson, his co-star on Evil, was a recurring star on the series. He told audiences: "You know what, I think it's funny, Michael Emerson is in Elsbeth and he's married to Carrie. Elsbeth is shot literally around the corner from us, so I went to the set and hung out with the guys.

tv echo March 20 Share March 20 (edited) Another new guest star this season... Billy Magnussen Joins ‘Elsbeth’ Season 2 [Exclusive] By Britta DeVore Published 1 day ago https://collider.com/elsbeth-season-2-cast-billy-magnussen/ Quote Billy Magnussen is on his way to give Carrie Preston a run for her money. Collider is excited to exclusively reveal that the Tony Award-nominated actor will be one of the last guest stars on the currently running second season of Elsbeth. Spoiler His latest dip into television will see The Franchise alum step into the killer shoes of Roderick Bedford. Described to be just about as pretentious as his name, Roderick is a rich kid looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush when he decides to chase his itch for a thrill with a brutal and heartless kill. Magnussen adds his name to a star-studded lineup of guest performers that has previously included the likes of Nathan Lane (The Birdcage), Laurie Metcalf (Scream 2), Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) and more. Right now, it isn’t clear which episode Magnussen will be dropping by for, but no matter the case, audiences will have a bit to wait as the series doesn’t return for a few weeks.
