Elsbeth’s Carrie Preston Revealed The Guest Star She Really Wants On The Show Again, And I’d Love To See This Happen

Elsbeth Tascioni didn’t begin out main her personal present. At first, Carrie Preston was an iconic visitor star on The Good Spouse, and her character was a fan favourite who returned time and time once more. Now, on Elsbeth, we get to see her on a regular basis interacting with new unimaginable visitor stars every episode. So, as we look forward to Season 3’s premiere on the 2025 TV schedule, Preston has opened up in regards to the visitor star she desires to see return once more, and personally, I’d like to see this occur.
Tracey Ullman is the visitor star Preston referred to as out when requested about who she’d wish to see return. Throughout an interview with Busy Philipps on Busy This Week, she completely gushed about her, saying:
I used to observe her present religiously. Every thing that she did as a result of she simply transforms. This lady turns into full, head to toe, different individuals. She did the identical on Elsbeth, a visitor spot that takes eight days to shoot. This lady exhibits up, I imply, I’m speaking a few lace-front wig, simply so, excellent for the character. Speaking about brown contact lenses. She needed — she was enjoying a psychic, so she needed the character to have deep, soulful eyes, after which faux enamel, a bridge. She is available in with faux enamel, simply popping them in like nothing. And then she had this complete accent down and every little thing.
As you possibly can see within the picture under, Ullman really did remodel for her episode of Elsbeth.
In Season 2, Episode 15, “I See…Homicide” (which you’ll stream with a Paramount+ subscription), she performed fortuneteller Marilyn Gladwell. Now, as you’d count on from Tracey Ullman, the lady behind one of many finest sketch comedy exhibits, she brings the humorous and aptitude. Nevertheless, she additionally brings the drama, too, making for fairly the thriller!
Plus, her look was subsequent stage, and as Preston identified helped her totally decide to the position. That sort of transformative mindset can also be why I believe Ullman can simply fulfill the next dream that Elsbeth’s star voiced:
She’s magic, and now we have this factor now the place we wish to deliver her again onto the present however play a very completely different character.
Sure, sure, let’s make this occur! It’d be a dream to see her come again as another person. I’d wish to level out that this wouldn’t be far-fetched or not possible both. We’ve seen just a few visitor stars from The Good Spouse come to Elsbeth to play completely completely different characters, like Nathan Lane and Laura Benanti. So, the precedent is ready that actors can return in numerous roles, plus contemplating how a lot Ullman modified her search for her episode, she will simply change it up once more.
That might make the next foolish request from Preston believable:
She may really be the killer in each episode if we needed.
The different possibility is that she may simply return as her character from “I See…Homicide.” A complete bunch of murderers returned for the Season 2 finale, so I believe it’s fairly potential for us to see this fortuneteller once more.
Time will inform if this want of Preston’s comes true, and I sincerely hope it does. Nevertheless, for now, let’s sit up for what we do know. Elsbeth will return for CBS’s 2025-2026 season on Sunday, October 12 at 9:30 p.m. ET earlier than returning to its regular Thursday slot. So, get excited, people, a 3rd season of murders and mysteries is coming, and I can’t wait to observe Elsbeth remedy them.
Nevertheless, I can also’t assist however hope that in considered one of these episodes we’ll see the return of Tracey Ullman not directly, form or kind.
