Fans of Elsbeth have plenty to look forward to in Season 2, as Carrie Preston reveals more character backstories and deeper personal stories. Competing at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, the show brings Preston’s beloved Emmy-winning attorney from The Good Wife and The Good Fight into the spotlight, now working with the NYPD.
Preston teases that Elsbeth’s son Teddy, briefly mentioned before, will get more screen time. The season promises to explore not just Elsbeth’s quirks but also her colleagues’ histories, making for a richer narrative.
Elsbeth’s quirky methods and numerous bags continue to confuse suspects, but it’s her unique approach that makes her a formidable attorney. “She says whatever comes into her mind and it can be disarming, but it’s also her superpower. It makes criminals say things they wish they didn’t,” says Preston.
Robert and Michelle King, creators of the show, aim to deliver a powerful message about accountability, wrapped in a captivating narrative.
