‘Elsbeth’ Star Carrie Preston Is Refreshing & Honoring The Procedural: “There’s A Bit Of A Wink With What We’re Doing”
‘Elsbeth’ star Carrie Preston finds a way to add her own effervescence to the police procedural: 'I’m setting the tone for the show.'
With Preston finally getting top billing on a show by Robert and Michelle King, Elsbeth has inspired one of the most joyous police procedurals on TV. If, structurally, we were to be able to borrow that and take Elsbeth out of the legal world, drop her down into a police procedural, that might be our way in,” so that it’s a fresh new show while still having a wink and a nod to her origins. I mean, we’re getting a pretty high level of actor, so Carra and Wendell [Pierce] and I always sit around, [speculating], “Who’s going to be the next murderer?” It’s almost like we get a new series regular, in that character, each week and that’s really fun.
