CBS Original Series ‘Elsbeth’ Star Carrie Preston Takes Unique Tea Around Town Tour of NYC
The popular CBS original series ‘Elsbeth,’ featuring the talented Carrie Preston, is set to make a grand return this Thursday night with a new storyline that is sure to captivate audiences. Preston, known for her portrayal of the quirky yet astute Elsbeth Tascioni in ‘The Good Wife‘ and ‘The Good Fight,’ recently partook in a unique Tea Around Town bus tour of New York City to chat about the upcoming episodes.
‘Elsbeth is enamored of New York City. She couldn’t wait to move here. She’s the dream tourist. So we’re on this tour bus, we’re gonna go around and see all the great sights,’ expressed Preston.
In ‘Elsbeth,’ the character transitions from a flourishing legal career in Chicago to an investigative role alongside the NYPD. Through her eccentricities and bold insights, she proves herself to be an unmatched problem-solver.
Creator and executive producer Robert King shared, ‘Sometimes it feels like shows have gotten an over-inflated sense of self.’ ‘Elsbeth,’ crafted by Robert and Michelle King along with producer Jonathan Tolins, offers a lighthearted escape from the darker themes often featured in today’s media landscape.
The star-studded cast of ‘Elsbeth’ continues to grow, with guest appearances from the likes of Keegan-Michael Key, Blair Underwood, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Fans can catch the show on CBS or stream it on Paramount+.
As a love letter to New York City itself, ‘Elsbeth’ combines mystery-solving with humor, leaving viewers both satisfied and entertained. The upcoming episodes promise to deliver both a resolution to the central mystery and a good laugh along the way.
Michelle King added, ‘That is what it’s meant to be, a bit of a respite for the ugliness that one sometimes sees in the world and in the news, and this is a character having fun and finding justice.’
