The quirky and captivating procedural drama Elsbeth has won over audiences with its unique blend of humor, clever mysteries, and the unforgettable performance of Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni. As a spinoff of The Good Wife and The Good Fight , the CBS series has carved out its own niche with its 'howcatchem' mystery format and vibrant New York City setting. As Season 2 ended in May 2025, fans are eagerly looking ahead to Elsbeth Season 3. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot details, and more. Elsbeth Season 3 Release Date Speculation
CBS renewed Elsbeth for Season 3 on February 20, 2025, following strong viewership averaging 11 million multiplatform viewers. While no official premiere date has been announced, a fall 2025 release—likely in September or October—is expected, aligning with the show's usual Thursday 10/9c slot and CBS's fall schedule. Based on past production timelines, filming could begin in summer 2025, supporting this likely premiere window. Elsbeth Season 3 Potential Cast
The core cast of Elsbeth is expected to return, though a significant change has been confirmed for one key character. Here's a breakdown of the anticipated cast: Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni
Wendell Pierce as Captain C.W. Wagner
Carra Patterson as Officer Kaya Blanke (Guest Star) Elsbeth Season 3 Potential Plot
Details about Elsbeth Season 3's plot are scarce, as the show's writers are still finalizing Season 2's conclusion. However, based on the series' format and recent developments, here's what fans can anticipate:
Continued 'Howcatchem' Format: Elsbeth is known for its inverted mystery style, where the audience sees the crime and perpetrator upfront, then follows Elsbeth as she unravels the case. While Season 2 experimented with slight format tweaks, Season 3 is expected to retain this Columbo-inspired structure, though writers may introduce new narrative devices, such as multi-episode arcs or cliffhangers.
Elsbeth's Evolving Role: At the end of Season 1, Elsbeth transitioned from a consent decree observer to an official NYPD investigator. Season 2 saw her navigating this new role while facing consequences from past cases, including her arrest in the penultimate episode. Season 3 could explore Elsbeth's adjustment to her investigator status, potentially returning her to a courtroom setting in a fresh way, as hinted by showrunner Jonathan Tolins.

The Second Kate Moss x Zara Collab Is The Ultimate Festival Wardrobe
If you're heading to Europe for festival season, the fashion icon herself, Kate Moss, has just collaborated with Zara (who is celebrating 50 years) for second time on The Festival Collection. Following the success of the supermodel's first Studio 54-inspired collaboration in 2024, these new rock 'n' roll styles reminiscent of her Glastonbury days are sure to excite everyone. Moss, who designed the collection with long-time stylist Katy England, was inspired by 'some of her favourite festival pieces, including styles from thrift stores of small-town America to the most elevated boutiques of Paris and Milan,' according to a press release. Think: sparkly mini dresses, embroidered vests, biker boots, and stacked bangles. Speaking on these limited-edition pieces, Moss says: 'Nothing matches the feeling of finding a one-off piece. Just wow. The piece that only you own.' And while others may cart up the same item from the collection as you, the nostalgic designs feel exclusive and help you stand out from the crowd thanks to the supermodel's inimitable style. The womenswear collection — which is modelled by Moss' equally cool daughter, Lila Moss — features everything from flowy blouses and lace matching sets to androgynous silk suits and go-go boots, with prices ranging from $49.95 to $679.

CBS Studios' EVP Casting Deborah Aquila Departs Amid Paramount Layoffs; CBS' SVP Late Night Nick Bernstein Exits As ‘After Midnight' Ends
EXCLUSIVE: Veteran casting director and executive Deborah Aquila, most recently EVP and head of casting for streaming series at CBS Studios, is leaving as part of the companywide layoffs at parent Paramount Global. According to sources, Aquila and four other members of the studio's casting team, ranging from coordinator to VP, were impacted by the Tuesday cuts that are reducing the overall Paramount workforce by 3.5%. Also leaving this week is Nick Bernstein, CBS' SVP of late night programming, West Coast. His departure is tied to the wrap of the network's After Midnight whose last show is airing on June 12. It is not directly related to the layoffs though any eliminated positions help divisions meet headcount targets. More from Deadline 'Boston Blue': Gloria Reuben Joins 'Blue Bloods' Offshoot For CBS Paramount Cutting Another 3.5% Of Its Domestic Workforce, Citing Linear TV Declines And Broader Economy 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Aquila joined Paramount TV Studios as EVP and head of casting in 2020. In early 2023, she took oversight of casting for both CBS Studios and Paramount TV Studios, the latter of which shut down last August. In a restructuring well over a year ago, Aquila focused on casting for streaming series, including the Star Trek franchise, Happy Face and most recently, the Little House On the Prairie reboot for Netflix, while CBS head of Casting, EVP Claudia Lyon, took over casting for broadcast. That is a setup that mirrors CBS and CBS Studios' integration of current programming under Eric Kim, while CBS Studios' Stephanie Groves oversees current for streaming. In another move toward streamlining and centralizing shared functions, Lyon will add casting for streaming series to her purview to oversee all casting for CBS Studios and CBS. She will continue to report to CBS Studios President David Stapf and CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach. CBS Studios casting is among many areas across Paramount impacted by today's layoffs. They are believed to also include Comedy Central, MTV, kids and adult animation, business development operations, franchises and consumer products. Among those exiting is Lauren Ruggiero, SVP Scripted Series at MTV Entertainment Studios. 'As we navigate the continued industry-wide linear declines and dynamic macro-economic environment, while prioritizing investments in our growing streaming business, we are taking the hard, but necessary steps to further streamline our organization starting this week,' Paramount co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins wrote in a staff memo this morning about the latest staff cuts. Aquila's career, which spans more than four decades, includes stints as a casting director, by herself and in partnership with Tricia Wood, as well as a run as SVP Casting for Paramount Pictures. She won Artios awards for her work on CODA and La La joined CBS at the end of 2014 as VP Late Night Programming, West Coast, to shepherd the final stages of development and subsequently oversee The Late Late Show with James Corden. Promoted to SVP, Bernstein became a fixture on the show and frequent target of Corden's, appearing in various gags. After the 2023 end of The Late Late Show, Bernstein took oversight of After Midnight, hosted by Taylor Tomlinson, which, like its predecessor, also is based in Los Angeles. Following that show's end this week, CBS will no longer air originals in the post-Late Show slot, instead running Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen. During his 11-year tenure at CBS, Bernstein also oversaw the Los Angeles-based daytime talk show The Talk, which ended its run in December. Prior to joining CBS, Bernstein spent more than a decade as late-night executive at NBC, working with Saturday Night Live and with hosts Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Jay Leno and Carson Daly.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Former Marital Home Sells for $11 Million — See Inside!
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's former Brentwood home has sold for $10.8 million after one on the market. Garner purchased the home in 2004, before her marriage to Affleck who moved in in 2005. She sold it in 2009. The mansion has also been home to Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber and was used in the filming of 'Home Again' starring Reese WitherspoonBen Affleck and Jennifer Garner's former L.A. home came back on the market last week — and has already found a new buyer. The Brentwood mansion sold for 10.8 million, significantly more than its asking price of $9.5 million, after receiving multiple offers from the day it was listed. The 13 Going on 30 actress, 53, purchased the home in 2004 for $5.5 million, before being joined by Affleck, 52, in 2005 following their marriage, according to Mansion Global. In 2009, Garner put the house on the market. Affleck and Garner, who share children Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 13, announced their split in June 2015 after ten years of marriage. The 4,151-square-foot, four bedroom, five bathroom Montecito-inspired home is arranged around a charming courtyard. It was built in 1929 and sits on about three-quarters of an acre in the celeb-favorite enclave. Affleck and Garner weren't the first stars to call this place home. Cindy Crawford once lived in the property with her husband Rande Gerber. The house also has an screen credit of its own: It was used in the 2017 romcom Home Again starring Reese Witherspoon. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The property includes a gated driveway with tall hedges for privacy. The entrance is accessed via a stone pathway and manicured garden surrounding a fountain. The main spaces feature original tile floors and steal casement-style windows. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace and a high, beamed ceiling. It opens up onto a lush backyard complete with a pool and outdoor entertaining space with another fireplace. Affleck and Garner first met on the set of Pearl Harbor, but their relationship did not begin until four years later. They starred in 2003's Daredevil together and became close friends. By the summer of 2004, their friendship had turned romantic and they wed in June 2005. They decided to go their separate ways in 2015, finalizing their divorce in 2018. In the years since, the exes and co-parents have continued to speak highly of one another. "She's just a fabulous person," Affleck said of Garner in 2016. "She's a great mother. She's a real talent … She's somebody that I admire and respect and remain excellent friends with." Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Lopez in 2022, but the singer filed for divorce in 2024. Garner is currently in a relationship with CEO boyfriend John Miller since 2018. Garner opened the doors to her current Los Angeles home to Architectural Digest in 2024. 'I'm such a private person about my home and here I've just taken you through the entire house. And really, it's for a couple of reasons,' she explains in the video tour. 'I've never built anything all by myself before and I'm so proud of it. I am filled with gratitude every time I walk into my house. That I get to live here, that I'm so lucky to have my kids here,' she says, Garner adds that it's 'unlike me' to share something that's so personal to her and her family, but she's 'happy' she did, as she's proud of the work she put into it. After moving out of the home he shared with Lopez, Affleck acquired a new place of his own in 2024. The $20.5 million, five-bedroom Los Angeles estate has a 'sense of privacy and seclusion' and is 'not trendy,' a source told PEOPLE shortly after he made the purchase. Affleck and Lopez's shared Beverly Hills mansion remains on the market with an asking price of $60 million following an $8 million price cut, a year after they listed it. The couple initially shopped the 38,000-square-foot house off market in June 2024, before publicly listing it in July. Read the original article on People
