In a statement, Jonathan Tolins, the showrunner and executive producer of Elsbeth, shared his enthusiasm: “We’ve always aimed to make Elsbeth a place where the best actors can come and play. Clearly, we’re doing something right because so many of our guest stars managed to clear their schedules to join us again. This wild reunion between Elsbeth and some of her favorite suspects is something we couldn’t be more thrilled about.”
Mark Your Calendars for the Season 2 Finale
The season 2 finale episode, titled “Ramen Holiday,” is set to air on Thursday, May 8, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. In this thrilling episode, Elsbeth will come face to face with many familiar suspects as she tries to solve a murder. It’s going to be a rollercoaster ride, and you won’t want to miss a single moment.
Star Carrie Preston has previously talked about her experience playing the iconic titular character, Elsbeth. She described the character as a colorful, unconventional figure who brings a unique flair to the procedural genre. “We like to say that Elsbeth is plopped down in the middle of a Law & Order episode or NYPD Blue or one of these traditional procedurals,” she shared with Parade in February 2024. “She’s this very colorful, unconventional, interesting, quirky, comedic character. The tension between the traditional procedural format and Elsbeth’s unique personality makes for something truly fun, much like Monk or Sherlock.”

“I just try to play what is written on the page in the best way that I know how,” she added. “I approach this as a comedy, even though it’s technically an hour-long drama. It’s light, much like Only Murders in the Building. We’re all on the same page about that.”
