EXCLUSIVE: The hit CBS dramedy series Elsbeth continues to stack up stars for its sophomore season with the addition of Sullivan Jones (Interior Chinatown, Big George Foreman), Ioan Gruffudd (Titanic, Fantastic Four) and Alan Ruck (Succession, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off). Season 2 premiered on October 17 and currently airs Thursday nights at 10 p.m.
Based on the character featured in The Good Wife and The Good Fight, Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston), the astute but unconventional consent decree attorney working with the NYPD to catch New York’s well-heeled murderers utilizing her unique point of view.
Jones will recur as Cameron Clayden, a handsome medical examiner in New York.
Gruffudd guest stars as Angus, a handsome Scottish artist who witnesses a murder in New York through a video art installation that connects to his small Scottish town. Sparks fly between Angus and Elsbeth when they join forces to solve the murder from across the pond in this Valentine’s Day special episode.
Ruck will guest star as Peter and Bill Henderson, twins known for their dominance in the hedge fund space after growing up working class in Queens. While Peter is the shrewd and cutting CEO of Hepson Capital, his twin brother Bill left his career in finance for a life of spiritual enlightenment that led him to give away his fortune. Either one or both will be the big baddie of the episode.
Elsbeth is produced by CBS Studios and executive produced by Robert King, Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, and Jonathan Tolins, who also serves as showrunner. Robert and Michelle King co-created the series.
Gruffudd is repped by Framework Entertainment; Ruck is repped by IAG, Teitelbaum Artists Group, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman.
