Good news for The Good Wife/Fight fans
SKY WITNESS PICKS UP ‘GOOD WIFE/FIGHT’ SPIN-OFF ‘ELSBETH’ FOR THE UK
Sky Witness and streaming service NOW have picked up ‘The Good Wife’ & ‘The Good Fight’ spin-off series ‘Elsbeth‘ for the UK, which sees Emmy Award winner Carrie Preston reprise her role in her own series.
The comedy-drama stars Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who uses her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD. After leaving her legal career for a new investigative role, Elsbeth finds herself jockeying with NYPD Captain C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce). Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson).
‘Elsbeth’ has been going down a storm on CBS, its USA network. It is the #2 most-watched new series of the season and currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%. CBS has already renewed it for Season 2.
“Elsbeth has charmed audiences with its singular blend of delightful humour, distinctive ‘how-done-it’ storytelling, and the inventive, brilliant quirkiness of Elsbeth Tascioni,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment when the renewal was announced. “Executive producers Robert and Michelle King have a stellar track record for creating critically acclaimed series full of unforgettable characters and, alongside showrunner Jonathan Tolins and his writing team, have developed an incredibly entertaining and engrossing New York City-centric world for the show to explore. We are grateful to the uniquely talented cast, led by Carrie Preston, Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson, for bringing these wonderful characters to life in the company of a world-class roster of weekly guest stars”.
Robert King, Michelle King, Jonathan Tolins, Liz Glotzer, Erica Shelton Kodish and Bryan Goluboff serve as executive producers. The series is produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
‘Elsbeth‘ Season 1 is currently scheduled to premiere Tuesday, 23rd July 2024 at 9pm on Sky Witness and streaming service NOW (although that technically isn’t a “locked” date yet, so may shift.) If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add it via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
