CBS’s ‘Elsbeth’ Adds Tracey Ullman, Jordana Brewster for Season 2 Guest Roles

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — CBS‘s hit drama series Elsbeth has announced the addition of Tracey Ullman and Jordana Brewster as guest stars for its upcoming second season, set to premiere on January 30 at 10 p.m. The show, a spinoff of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, follows the quirky and brilliant attorney Elsbeth Tascioni, played by Carrie Preston, as she assists the NYPD in solving high-profile murders in New York City.

Tracey Ullman will portray Marilyn, a professional psychic with a roster of elite Manhattan clients who rely on her supernatural guidance. When the stepson of one of her wealthy clients is murdered, Elsbeth must outwit Marilyn, whose uncanny abilities often keep her ahead of the game. Ullman, a seven-time Emmy winner, is best known for her groundbreaking sketch comedy series The Tracey Ullman Show and recent roles in FX’s Mrs. America and HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Jordana Brewster, renowned for her role as Mia Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise, will play Chloe, a glamorous “lifestyle consultant” who caters to Manhattan’s wealthiest elite. Described as a high-end escort with a dangerous edge, Chloe becomes a key suspect in a murder investigation. Brewster’s recent projects include the films Simulant and Who Invited Charlie?, as well as TV roles in American Crime Story and Lethal Weapon.

The guest star lineup also includes Alyssa Milano, who will appear as Pupetta DeMarco, a fiery former mafia princess now running a family restaurant tied to a notorious mob hit. Milano’s character clashes with Elsbeth as the attorney delves into the decades-old case.

Elsbeth is produced by CBS Studios and executive produced by Robert and Michelle King, the creators of The Good Wife and The Good Fight. Jonathan Tolins serves as showrunner, with additional executive producers including Liz Glotzer, Erica Shelton Kodish, Bryan Goluboff, and Gail Barringer.

The series has been praised for its unique blend of whimsical drama and over-the-top murder mysteries, with Preston’s portrayal of Elsbeth Tascioni earning critical acclaim. Season 2 promises to build on the show’s eccentric charm, with a mix of new and returning guest stars adding to its appeal.
