Following the renewal of Elsbeth , I've been getting hyped for Season 2's premiere on the 2024 TV schedule , and all the fun surprises it might hold. The Good Wife spinoff became a breakout hit on CBS last season, with Carrie Preston reprising her beloved titular role, and I can't wait to see her again . On top of that, the series has already brought on an impressive lineup of guest stars, and that will only continue for Season 2.
Now, Preston’s husband, Michael Emerson, is throwing his hat in the ring, which I love. However, he has one condition. Preston and Emerson have been married since 1998, and they have worked together on numerous occasions, including on Lost and Person of Interest .
So, with Elsbeth including guest stars in every episode, it feels like the perfect opportunity for them to collaborate again. This is especially relevant since he just wrapped up a four-season run on Evil , and both shows were created by Robert and Michelle King . Emerson expressed interest in an appearance on his wife's show while speaking to Collider, but he has one condition: Obviously, I can't play the villain — it's too on the nose.
Emerson has played the villain on more than a few occasions. When he joined Lost as Ben Linus in the second season, he started as the antagonist before gradually becoming somewhat of an ally. On Evil , he played Dr.
Leland Townsend, a forensic psychologist who was secretly an expert in the occult and obsessed with encouraging others to commit evil acts.
