Elsbeth is finally back on CBS in the 2025 TV schedule with the Season 3 premiere, and it's a tall order for the show to match the fun of the first and second season premieres. The drama recruited not one but three excellent guest stars to do just that, with The Late Show's Stephen Colbert joined by Amy Sedaris and Andy Richter. Colbert will be playing a late night TV host, and leading lady Carrie Preston spoke with CinemaBlend about the role that was "specifically" written for him as well as the comedy trio of guests.
The Season 3 premiere is called "Yes, And…," and drops Elsbeth into the world of late-night comedy, but she's in for a whole lot more than laughs when a tragic twist brings her backstage with the NYPD. Colbert plays late night talk show host Scotty Bristol, while Amy Sedaris is head writer Laurel and Andy Richter is on board in a role that's right up his alley: talk show sidekick Mickey.
