As a die-hard fan who has grown up with the magical charm of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick on our screens, it is nothing short of exhilarating to witness their son, James Wilkie Broderick, stepping into the limelight. The anticipation building up for their first on-screen appearance together in the upcoming episode of Elsbeth is simply palpable!


The son of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick is making his entrance onto the stage, mirroring his renowned parents by embarking on an acting career for the first time.

In a forthcoming episode of the crime anthology series “Elsbeth,” James Wilkie Broderick, aged 22, will appear alongside his award-winning father who won a Tony, as confirmed by CBS on Monday.

In 2025, you’ll see a captivating tale unfold, marking the first on-screen collaboration between a father and son. This intriguing storyline delves into the competitive landscape of college applications, promising an exciting ride.

In simpler terms, the character named Matthew, aged 62, will portray Lawrence Grey, a high-end consultant for prestigious preparatory schools in Manhattan. He leverages his influential network to secure spots at Ivy League universities for privileged children, regardless of the steep price – including acts as extreme as murder.

James Wilkie assumes the position as a polished mentor for success, named Carl, within Grey’s educational consultancy, Outmatch, which caters to the offspring of the affluent, aiding them in gaining admission to prestigious institutions.

Located in New York City, Elsbeth has built a reputation for inviting big names from Broadway, such as Nathan Lane, who starred alongside Matthew in “The Producers.” In the opening episode of Season 2, he graced the show with his presence.

In a new series, reminiscent of “The Good Wife,” Carrie Preston plays the lead role, portraying a character who was once an attorney and has since transitioned into an unofficial detective, employing her unique, offbeat approaches to aid the New York Police Department in resolving criminal cases.

Among the notable celebrities gracing the set of Elsbeth are Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Vanessa Williams, Eric McCormack, Laurie Metcalf, and others.

James Wilkie is currently a senior at Brown University, majoring in classics and acting. 

This year, he played a minor part in the Apple TV series titled Lady in the Lake, alongside Natalie Portman.

59-year-olds Matthew and Sarah Jessica Parker are also proud parents to a pair of 15-year-old twins named Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell.

The announcement about the acting role was made following James Wilkie sharing glimpses of his family’s life, through pictures taken at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with his followers.

On Thursday, he shared several charming photos from their trip to France, featuring two of them with his sisters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta.

In July, James shared a photo featuring the Sex and the City actress and her spouse socializing with Tom Cruise during the Olympics.
