Detective mystery drama branded “Columbo 2.0” confirms exciting guest star news for new season

The detective drama Elsbeth has revealed some new guest stars joining its current third season. The show, which began as a spin-off of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, stars Carrie Preston as the quirky lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni.

Similar to shows like Columbo and Poker Face, the series features a protagonist who uses her unusual perspective to assist the NYPD in solving crimes, with each episode revealing how the culprit is caught.

Season 3 will feature guest appearances by Constance Wu, known for Crazy Rich Asians, and Anna Camp, from the series You.

Wu will play Dr. Mallory Ryan, a ‘wealth therapist’ who supports the extremely wealthy in navigating the challenges that come with their privileged lives (according to Variety).

When a patient begins to suspect Dr. Mal is using their therapy sessions to gain an unfair advantage in the stock market, Dr. Mal faces consequences that go beyond simply ending their professional relationship.

Actress Camp will play Juliet Woodbent, a homemaker dedicated to her husband and family of six, who is the subject of a documentary. But a mistake she makes while cooking, caught on camera, threatens to ruin her image and leads her to secretly create something dangerous.

The third season of Elsbeth premiered in October. The show first aired in 2024 and was quickly renewed for a second season after its initial success.

One IMDb user described the show as a modern take on “Columbo,” saying they were immediately captivated after just half of the first episode. They expressed hope that the show maintains its quality, attracts viewers, and enjoys a long run.

Similar to what others have said, one viewer compared the show to Columbo, explaining that we, as the audience, already know who committed the crime. But the real fun comes from watching Elsbeth, the detective, figure it all out and uncover the truth.

One viewer said if you enjoyed the character Elsbeth on The Good Wife or The Good Fight, you’ll definitely like this new show, which focuses entirely on her. They were excited when the show was announced and weren’t let down.

Elsbeth airs on CBS in the US and Sky Witness and NOW in the UK.
