Carrie Preston is bringing her 'The Good Wife' character Elsbeth Tascioni back to television in CBS's 'Elsbeth.'
standout has left her defense attorney days behind as she begins working with the NYPD to oversee their cases. Although she has been tasked by the Department of Justice, her new colleagues — including Captain Wagner — are not sure Elsbeth is the right fit after she sticks her nose in the case of a murdered dancer. Elsbeth rightly believes she was killed by her teacher .
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’re playing Elsbeth again! What makes her a character you want to keep returning to, and what made this show, which leans into crime more than the law, the right vehicle for her?: She’s so full of wonder, curiosity and joy. She keeps me guessing, so I get inspired by her. Those infectious qualities., which is, you know who the murderer is, then the joy of watching the show is seeing the cat and mouse between the murderer and Elsbeth.
Elsbeth has been such a scene stealer in the past. Did you have any concerns about Elsbeth being the main character of her own show? What I love about Elsbeth is she has such an appreciation for women that are more put together than she is, and she looks up to Kaya even though she’s younger than Elsbeth. She finds this young woman is so self-possessed and Elsbeth can be so scatterbrained and hasn’t really mastered being grounded. Also, she sees in Kaya someone she can mentor, because understands how to look at a situation from a different angle to illuminate it. They’re both going to rub off on each other.
