Why Isn’t Elsbeth Airing a New Episode This Week? Return Date Revealed

by

The offbeat and proficient lawyer character, Elsbeth Tascioni, played by Carrie Preston, stars in her standalone series Elsbeth, a spin-off from hit shows The Good Wife (2009–2016) and The Good Fight (2017–2022). Debuting on CBS on February 29, 2024, the show follows Elsbeth as she leaves her thriving Chicago law career behind to settle in New York, where she collaborates closely with the local police department. Typically airing on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET, there will be no new episode this week, leaving fans puzzled about the cause of the hiatus. Here’s what fans should know about the show’s break.

Why is Elsbeth on a break?

Right now, Elsbeth is taking a pause because of the March Madness, an alternate term used for the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championship.

The NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments started on Thursday, March 20, with CBS broadcasting various games. Regrettably, the time slot occupied by the police procedural comedy-drama series Elsbeth, which typically airs Thursdays at 10 pm ET, has been taken over by March Madness. Consequently, on this particular Thursday, the Arkansas vs. Kansas game was aired at 7:10 pm ET and St. John’s vs. Omaha followed at 9:45 pm ET. Thus, fans of Elsbeth who tuned into CBS after 10 pm ET missed their beloved TV show and instead watched the second basketball game.

When will Elsbeth return with new episodes on CBS?

In its second season, it’s said that Elsbeth consists of a total of 20 episodes. The 15th episode was broadcasted last week. So when the series resumes after its current break, it will be airing Episode 15 of Season 2. Elsbeth Season 2 is planned to resume on April 3, 2025, following a two-week hiatus. Despite March Madness ending on April 7, Elsbeth is set to return four days earlier and continue the tale of its main character.
