Produced by CBS Studios and executive-produced by Robert King, Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, and Jonathan Tolins, the second season of The Good Wife and The Good Fight spinoff series sees Carrie Preston back as Elsbeth Tascioni, the astute but unconventional consent decree attorney working with the NYPD to catch New York’s most well-heeled murderers, utilizing her unique point of view. The second season of the critically acclaimed series brings new cases and challenges when mistakes of the past come back to haunt Elsbeth, her boss, Captain Wagner (Wendell Pierce), and detective-in-training Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson).
Executive producer Jonathan Tolins revealed in a recent interview that the show is seeking “variations” this season to keep the audience engaged. “Starting with the finale last year, we’re breaking form, looking for variations, just to keep the audience from ever feeling like you’ve seen one—you’ve seen them all,” he revealed.
Tolins also drew comparisons to the classic detective series Columbo, noting that just like that iconic show, Elsbeth will be “playing with things and fooling you” with more “surprising things” in store. Fans shouldn’t expect a formulaic season, as the creative team is aiming to subvert expectations and deliver fresh, engaging mysteries week after week.
With the addition of high-profile guest stars like Vanessa Williams and Pamela Adlon, as well as the return of fan favorites, Elsbeth’s second season is shaping up to be an absolute must-watch. Tune in to CBS on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET to follow along as Elsbeth and her team tackle New York’s most puzzling cases.
