CBS’s Elsbeth will become a family affair when Emmy winner Michael Emerson (Evil) joins the season two cast in a recurring role. Emerson, who is married to series star Carrie Preston, will kick off his special guest starring run with the Thursday, December 12, 2024 episode.

Per CBS: “Emerson will join the critically acclaimed series as a foil to his wife’s Elsbeth Tascioni, in which he will play Judge Milton Crawford, a haughty, soft-spoken and bespectacled man from an old New England family of public servants who sees his place in the nation’s elite as a birthright. Additional episode dates will be announced at a later date.”

In addition to Carrie Preston in the titular role, season two stars Wendell Pierce as Captain C.W. Wagner and Carra Patterson as Officer Kaya Blanke. Robert King, Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, Erica Shelton Kodish, Bryan Goluboff, Gail Barringer, and showrunner Jonathan Tolins serve as executive producers.

Elsbeth stars Emmy Award winner Carrie Preston 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,” reads CBS’s synopsis. “Season two of the critically acclaimed series brings new cases and challenges when mistakes of the past come back to haunt Elsbeth, her boss Captain Wagner (Pierce) and detective-in-training Officer Kaya Blanke (Patterson).”

Michael Emerson has earned two Emmy awards for his performances in Lost and The Practice. Emerson’s credits also include Person of Interest, Without a Trace, The Laramie Project, and The Name of the Rose.
