Nearly 14 years after Carrie Preston’s Elsbeth Tascioni was first introduced on THE GOOD WIFE—and after making 19 appearances across the series and its spinoff THE GOOD FIGHT—the character is getting her own showcase in the upcoming CBS series ELSBETH. (The drama debuts Thursday, February 29 at 10/9c.)
“As an actor, every time I see the name Elsbeth, I squeal inside,” Preston tells Give Me My Remote. “I still can’t even believe that it’s actually happening—that the name of the show is the character. So I’m extremely grateful and humbled by the whole thing. And treating every moment as if it’s the last, just with such utter delight and appreciation.”
