‘Elsbeth’ Rounds Out Guest Cast With Elizabeth Lail, Arian Moayed & Laura Benanti
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: CBS‘ Elsbeth will count on three additional guest stars for its Season 1 cast: Elizabeth Lail (Five Nights At Freddy’s), Arian Moayed (Succession) and Laura Benanti (The Gilded Age).
Following a brief hiatus, the show returns on April 4 with two episodes. Elsbeth follows the titular Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston), an astute but unconventional attorney, who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD following her successful career in Chicago.
The character first appeared in The Good Wife and later in The Good Fight spinoff. In addition to Preston, Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson round out the series regular cast, as Captain Wagner and Kaya Blanke, respectively.
Gloria Reuben recurs as Wagner’s wife, Claudia Payne. The cast is small as the police procedural dramedy depends on a healthy supply of guest stars like Stephen Moyer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Linda Lavin and Blair Underwood, to name a few. Lail portrays Quinn, the hot young tech CEO known for her location-based crime alert app, “Cerberus.” Quinn uses her charm and privilege to hook investors, and she’ll even use her app to deceive the authorities when she gets up to criminal activity herself. Moayed portrays Joe, the charismatic owner of an exclusive TriBeCa cocktail bar.
