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 unbelievable visitor stars each episode. So, as we anticipate Season 3’s premiere on the 2025 TV schedule, Preston has opened up concerning 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 look at her present religiously. The whole lot that she did as a result of she simply transforms. This lady turns into full, head to toe, different folks. She did the identical on Elsbeth, a visitor spot that takes eight days to shoot. This lady reveals up, I imply, I’m speaking a few lace-front wig, simply so, good for the character. Speaking about brown contact lenses. She wished — she was taking part in a psychic, so she wished 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. After which she had this entire accent down and all the things.
As you may see within the photograph beneath, Ullman really did rework 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 anticipate from Tracey Ullman, the girl behind one of many greatest sketch comedy reveals, she brings the humorous and aptitude. Nevertheless, she additionally brings the drama, too, making for fairly the thriller!
Plus, her look was subsequent degree, and as Preston identified helped her totally decide to the function. That type of transformative mindset can be why I feel 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 want to carry her again onto the present however play a completely 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 unattainable both. We’ve seen a couple of 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 about 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 might truly be the killer in each episode if we wished.
The opposite choice is that she might simply return as her character from “I See…Homicide.” A complete bunch of murderers returned for the Season 2 finale, so I feel it’s fairly doable 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 look ahead to 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 look at Elsbeth resolve them.
Nevertheless, I can also’t assist however hope that in considered one of these episodes we’ll see the return of Tracey Ullman ultimately, form or type.
