After playing the role of Elsbeth Tascioni, a quirky lawyer who is often underestimated, 19 times over the course of both “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” Carrie Preston is starring in her own show about the character called “Elsbeth' for CBS. The premiere aired in February and the series returns with two new episodes this Thursday.

The Kings were always aware the Elsbeth character was a fan favorite, but it took a binge-watch of “Columbo” during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to prompt them to create a show for Preston. Aside from being set in a new city, “Elsbeth” is written for a broader network audience and avoids the kind of political storylines that drove “The Good Fight” in particular.
“Elsbeth has the added advantage of the misogyny that comes of lower expectations just because she’s a woman and sort of a ditzy woman,” said Robert King. “Her ditzy-ness is not an act in our minds. It’s kind of connected to her problem solving.”
