Elsbeth Tascioni, Chicago’s contribution to the world of offbeat legal minds, is back in the Big Apple. This week, in ‘The Wrong Stuff,’ a billionaire bites the dust during space training, and it’s not from a rogue meteoroid.

Elsbeth (Carrie Preston), with her trademark sideways glance at reality, suspects something more sinister—specifically, a fellow space enthusiast named Neal (guest appearance from comedian Rob Riggle), who seems to have a grudge the size of the cosmos. One can’t help but wonder what Neal’s spacesuit might be concealing: a dark secret, a killer alibi, or just a really good tailor.

As if a space-themed homicide investigation wasn’t enough, Elsbeth’s Chicago past makes an unwelcome appearance. A former colleague from the Windy City surfaces, threatening to disrupt Elsbeth’s already precarious New York equilibrium.

Let’s just hope this reunion doesn’t involve any legal battles over misplaced deep-dish pizza.

The cast also includes Wendell Pierce as Captain C.W. Wagner, Carra Patterson as Officer Kaya Blanke and Jason Babinsky as Gavin Morrissey.

The Wrong Stuff is written by Matthew K. Begbie and Erica Shelton and is directed by .Aisha Tyler

Elsbeth: The Wrong Stuff airs Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 10:00 pm on CBS.
