‘Elsbeth’ Casts Mary Louise Parker and David Alan Grier as Guest Stars (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comEthan Shanfeld Mary Louise Parker and David Alan Grier have been tapped as guest stars of Season 2 of CBS’ “Elsbeth,” the mystery spinoff of “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight” starring Carrie Preston as the de facto detective Elsbeth Tascioni.
Parker, best known for her star turn in Showtime’s “Weeds,” will play Freya, a decluttering guru with a minimalist lifestyle brand and a controlling personality. “When her husband threatens her perfect sense of balance, she murders him to keep the third in their throuple all to herself,” reads the logline.
Grier, who currently stars in the NBC sitcom “St. Denis Medical,” takes on the role of Arthur Greene Jr.,the highly professional owner of a family mortuary that caters to the one percent.
Per CBS, “Discretion is everything to Arthur, so when his conspiracy-minded nephew threatens to unearth the truth about a famous author’s botched funeral, he does what must be done to keep the secret buried.” “Elsbeth” is a police procedural dramedy that typically functions as a “howcatchem” mystery show rather than a “whodunit,” meaning the audience usually knows who the murderer is at the beginning of the episode.
