As a longtime fan of Carrie Preston’s enchanting performances, I can’t help but feel thrilled about the revelation of Nathan Lane joining the cast of Elsbeth for season 2! Ever since his breakout role as Timon in The Lion King, Lane has been a staple in the world of entertainment, from his hilarious antics in The Birdcage to his Tony-winning performance in The Producers.
Elsbeth has unveiled the initial celebrity murder-mystery guest star for season 2, and this person is quite a sensation! Discover their identity right here!
One standout delight of the 2024 TV schedule is the return of the character Elsbeth. Initially, it appeared an unusual concept: Actress Carrie Preston resumes her Emmy-winning portrayal as Elsbeth Tascioni, the eccentric attorney from The Good Wife and its sequel series The Good Fight.
Instead of being a blend of legality and comedy, this fresh series harks back to the detective shows popular in the 1970s. Characters like Elsbeth find themselves in New York City, working as an NYPD observer. It won’t be long before she finds herself immersed in murder investigations, her unconventional mind enabling her to gather and decipher clues to crack these cases.
One intriguing aspect of the show lies in its similarity to Columbo, as it presents an unusual take on the mystery genre – often referred to as a “reverse whodunnit.” Unlike traditional mysteries, the viewers are aware from the outset who the murderer is. Instead, the excitement stems from watching Elsbeth engage in a captivating game with the killer, ultimately revealing their guilt.
The first season was characterized by an abundance of well-known actors appearing as the killers, such as Jane Karkowski, Andre DeShields, Gina Gershon, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and others. For the second season, it appears that there will be more guest stars joining the cast, although some are currently being kept under wraps.
However, we know who the first major guest star of season 2 will be and it’s a big one!
Who’s guest starring in Elsbeth season 2?
As a gaming enthusiast, I recently got a sneak peek at season 2 from TVLine and it’s got me pumped! Nathan Lane will be making his debut as the first guest star, portraying Phillip Cross – an avid opera fan who takes his love for the art to a whole new level. When a ringing cell phone disrupts a performance, he becomes uncontrollably compelled to silence the offender. Can’t wait to see what this brings to the show!
Lane is, of course, a major name from his breakout voicing Timon in The Lion King to movies such as The Birdcage and his Tony-award-winning role in The Producers. He also starred in Only Murders in the Building, which added an Emmy to his bevy of awards.
The actor has previously played a recurring role as Clarke Hayden in “The Good Wife” series. Producers Tom and Michelle King often utilize guest stars from “The Good Wife” in various roles across their productions, making it straightforward to cast the actor known as Lane.
In a seemingly perfect match, Lane’s genuine passion for opera lends itself beautifully to his character. The anticipation builds as we eagerly wait to witness the intense confrontations between Lane and Preston, with Elsbeth caught in the middle, trying to unravel the mystery behind his actions that led to this crime.
There are yet more prominent actors set to appear, but Lane’s role is poised to launch season 2 spectacularly and continue the enjoyable spirit that made the series popular.
