CBS’ Elsbeth added three guest stars to its fourth season. Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory, A Cinderella Story), Molly Shannon (A Night at the Roxbury, How the Grinch Stole Christmas), and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea, Ben Is Back) are set to be featured in the hit drama-comedy, according to Deadline.
Elsbeth is led by Carrie Preston (The Good Wife, The Good Fight), who plays Elsbeth Tascioni, a highly intelligent, unorthodox attorney who collaborates with the NYPD to solve cases involving New York City’s most privileged criminals, bringing a uniquely intuitive approach to each investigation. Elsbeth’s boss, Captain C.W. Wagner, played by Wendell Pierce (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Waiting to Exhale) is the leader of the precinct. The show’s fourth season will welcome new characters, family conflicts, and more on the line for Elsbeth and the precinct.
Helberg will play Briggs Potter. Briggs is a committed Revolutionary War performer whose place in the organization is challenged by a newcomer.
Molly Shannon will play Patty Prince. Patty created a female superhero on the path to becoming famous. However, she hits a roadblock when a fan who is obsessed with maintaining continuity in the fictional universe gets in her way. Patty chooses to deal with this conflict in murderous ways.
Hedges will play “Data” Stevens. Data founded and is the CEO of a prediction market. He will stop at nothing to sell himself and his company’s “good vibes” image.
Previously, Nicole Scherzinger (Annie Live!, Dirty Dancing), Nicholas Braun (One Night Only, The Sheep Detectives), New York Knicks star OG Anunoby, Jemima Kirke (Expulsion, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Nat Faxon (Futurama, President Curtis), Sam Richardson (Let’s Have Kids!, Matchbox: The Movie), and Lea Michele (Same Time, Next Christmas, Glee) have guest starred on season four of Elsbeth.
