“Elsbeth,” the CBS crime drama, is adding some serious star power to its second season. Veteran comedic actress Tracey Ullman and film star Jordana Brewster are confirmed for guest roles, bringing their talents to the quirky procedural. Ullman, seen recently in the Apple TV+ series “Black Doves,” will play a psychic whose clientele includes some of New York’s wealthiest. Brewster will portray a lifestyle consultant, hinting at a character with a potentially dark side beneath a polished exterior.
They join Alyssa Milano, whose casting as a former mob associate was previously announced. These additions suggest challenging and unusual cases ahead for Elsbeth Tascioni as she continues her work with the NYPD.
The new casting choices point to intriguing story developments. Ullman’s role as a psychic to the wealthy opens the door for cases involving high society and hidden motives. Brewster’s lifestyle consultant character could introduce a storyline exploring the contrast between public image and private reality. Milano’s connection to Elsbeth’s past, as a former mob associate, is sure to create tension and bring a personal element to the investigations.
“Elsbeth” makes its season two debut on January 30.
