Spoilers are ahead for Episode 13 of CBS' Elsbeth Season 3, called “Murder Six Across” and available streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
Elsbeth is the place to be in primetime to find celebrities playing murderers who kill their victims in bizarrely funny ways, with Season 3 returning in the 2026 TV schedule to break a rule with Midnight Mass’s Hamish Linklater. The latest episode featured none other than Steve Buscemi himself as a crossword puzzle fanatic pushed to murder most foul over a “delulu” combination of frustration over slang and an unrequited crush on a fellow puzzler. Carrie Preston spoke with CinemaBlend about Buscemi requesting a role on her show, which had him “flailing around.”
