A new sneak peek at Elsbeth's Season 3 finale welcomes MCU favorite Patti LuPone to emotionally serenade Carrie Preston with a classic tune.
And now, the end is near, and so Elsbeth Season 3 faces its final curtain. Fortunately, it's primed to be a show-stopping finale. After an eventful run full of tyrannical talk show hosts, killer cruciverbalists, and a murderous former model, among other colorful crooks, Carrie Preston is about to enter the glamorous world of cabaret to solve the mystery of a minor royal's death.
Welcomed into the most prestigious hotel in all of New York, Elsbeth will brush with faded elegance and rub elbows with old elites, including a legendary cabaret performer who not only calls the storied building her home but fills its halls with her voice. Collider can exclusively share a new, musical sneak peek at the upcoming finale, centering the singer in question, played by Broadway performer Patti LuPone, who has an emotional tune to share.
Where past sneak peeks have shown Elsbeth's humorous interactions with her suspects or demonstrated her skills of deduction, this video is a more low-key, emotional preview, letting LuPone serenade the absolutely beaming sleuth as the legendary Ruby Lane. The song she chooses is the classic"What'll I Do," performed by no shortage of incredible artists over the years, from Nat King Cole to Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Linda Ronstadt, and Bob Dylan.
She utterly enraptures Elsbeth in the piano-backed performance as they sit together, but as soon as the music stops, the music changes. Elsbeth thinks it may be her favorite song by Irving Berlin, though that catches Ruby off guard, considering she mentioned knowing nothing about cabaret. She insists her love comes from an appreciation of the"great American songbook," but the singer doesn't buy it, calling her guest out as phony and blowing her off.
Elsbeth will quickly learn how difficult a presence Ruby Lane can be, one capable of killing on and potentially off the stage, and one as eccentric as she is talented. LuPone is the perfect pick for such a towering force of nature, often regarded as one of the greatest and most influential modern Broadway performers, with three Tony awards to her name.
However, she's also proven herself as a favorite on-screen, shining especially bright of late as Lilia Calderu in the MCU series Agatha All Along. A season finale demands extra star power, though, so Elsbeth also brought in Shrinking Emmy nominee Michael Urie to play the enthusiastic philanthropist with some financial red flags, Monty Blakemont III. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Marvel Personality Quiz Which MCU Hero Are You?
Spider-Man · Daredevil · Iron Man · Punisher · Thor · Cap Six heroes. One destiny. Answer 10 questions to discover which Marvel Cinematic Universe hero shares your personality, values, and fighting spirit. Will you swing, fly, or thunder your way to glory?
🕷️Spider-Man 😈Daredevil 🤖Iron Man 💀Punisher ⚡Thor 🛡️Cap FIND YOUR HERO → QUESTION 1 / 10MOTIVATION 01 What drives you to do what's right? Choose the answer that feels most like you. AWith great power comes great responsibility — I protect those who can't protect themselves. BMy faith and my conscience — I believe justice must be served, even in the dark.
CLegacy and ego, honestly — but I've learned that others depend on me now. DThe system failed. Someone has to make sure the guilty actually pay. EDuty to the innocent and honour to my name — I was born to protect realms.
FThe values I was raised with — freedom, decency, and never backing down from a bully. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10YOUR CITY 02 It's 2 AM. Where are you? Your answer says more about you than you'd think.
ASwinging between skyscrapers, keeping an eye on the neighbourhood. BRunning rooftops in Hell's Kitchen, listening for trouble. CIn my lab, upgrading my suit with a cold cup of coffee nearby. DStaking out a target I've been tracking for three weeks.
ESomewhere between the stars, or at a feast that got out of hand. FOn a morning run — I was up at 4, actually. Couldn't sleep.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10CONFLICT STYLE 03 How do you handle a villain who keeps escaping justice? Every hero has a method. What's yours? AWeb them up and leave them for the police — again.
BBuild an airtight case and dismantle their entire operation from the inside. CDeploy a containment system I designed specifically for them. Tech wins. DMake sure they don't escape a third time.
Permanently. EChallenge them to single combat. Honour demands a decisive end. FRally allies, adapt the plan, and bring them in — by the book, even if it's hard.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face.
COverrated — I announced myself to the world and I'd do it again. DI'm a ghost. The less people know about me, the better. EMy name is known across the Nine Realms.
There's no hiding it. FI don't hide — but I understand why some need to. Transparency builds trust.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS & GRIEF 05 You've lost someone important because of your heroism. How do you carry that? Every hero pays a price. The question is how they pay it.
AWith guilt that never fully goes away — it pushes me to do better, every single day. BI channel it into purpose — their memory is the reason I keep fighting. CI buried myself in work for years. I'm only recently learning to face it.
DIt transformed me completely. I'm not the same person I was before. EWith warrior's grief — I honour them by fighting with everything I have. FI keep moving forward.
Stopping means letting the loss win. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10TEAM DYNAMICS 06 What's your role when working with a team? Who you are under pressure is who you actually are. AThe enthusiastic wildcard who somehow makes it work — and keeps the mood up.
BThe strategist who works best alone but shows up when it matters most. CThe one who funds it, equips it, and occasionally takes over the whole operation. DI don't do teams. I'm more effective operating solo, on my terms.
EThe heavy hitter — I crash in, draw fire, and turn the tide of battle. FThe leader — I earn trust, build the plan, and make sure no one gets left behind.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10MORAL CODE 07 Where do you draw the line between justice and revenge? The answer defines what kind of hero you really are. AClearly — I don't kill, and I wrestle with that line constantly. BI try to hold the line, but I've come terrifyingly close to crossing it.
CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice.
Mercy is earned — not automatic. FFirmly. The moment we abandon our principles, we become what we fight against.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10EVERYDAY LIFE 08 When you're not saving the world, what does life look like? The person behind the mask is always the more interesting story. ATrying to juggle school, a part-time job, and not failing my friends. BWorking as a lawyer by day, fighting for justice in court and on the streets.
CRunning a global company, attending galas, and pretending I'm sleeping enough. DQuiet. Isolated. Surviving with a clear mission and no distractions.
ENavigating a bizarre and fascinating mortal world — coffee is extraordinary. FAdapting to a world decades ahead of everything I knew. Quietly, stubbornly.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10FEAR 09 What keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of. AThe people I couldn't save — and the ones I might not reach in time tomorrow. BWhether the monster I fight every night is starting to live inside me too.
CThe threats I can see coming and whether my tech is actually good enough. DNothing. Silence is the only peace I get. I've made my choices.
EWhether I'm truly worthy — of the hammer, of the throne, of the people I protect. FA world where no one stands up anymore. Where good people do nothing.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10FINAL STAND 10 The battle is lost. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted. What do you do? This is your tiebreaker — choose carefully.
ACrack a joke to buy a second, then find the one web shot that changes everything. BBlock out everything except the sound of the next threat — and keep going. CActivate the emergency protocol I built for exactly this scenario. Always have a plan.
DI don't accept that it's lost. I keep fighting until I physically cannot anymore. ECall the lightning. All of it.
The storm answers to me. FPick up the shield. Stand up. Because as long as I can stand, it's not over.

↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ 'Elsbeth's Season 3 Finale Is Far From the Final Bow for Carrie Preston By all accounts, Season 3 has been another rousing success for Elsbeth, facing a slight dip in viewership on CBS but going strong as a Paramount+ favorite. The network didn't second-guess renewing it for Season 4 during the procedural's midseason break back in January, ensuring there will be more mysteries, colorful outfits, and high-profile guests for Preston to get acquainted with this fall.
It'll be hard to top a group that has featured all manner of stars, from Stephen Colbert to Amy Sedaris, David Cross, Julia Fox, Steve Buscemi, Dianne Wiest, William Jackson Harper, Tracey Ullman, and Andrew Rannells, among many others. This time around, though, it'll be sharing some space with a new series from its creators, Robert and Michelle King. CBS picked up the Good Wife universe duo's new"David v.
