Elsbeth, featuring a quirky character from The Good Wife and The Good Fight, debuts on CBS February 29. Carrie Preston plays Elsbeth, an attorney sent from Chicago to New York to observe the NYPD in an investigative role. Her goofy demeanor drives the New York detectives, including Capt. C.W. Wagner, played by Wendell Pierce, nuts. But she also has a good eye for perpetrators.
The show comes from Robert and Michelle King, who executive produce with Jonathan Tolins and Liz Glotzer. Tolins is the showrunner.
