“Elsbeth” returns to television screens for season 3, and the eccentric lawyer is ready to take on new cases.
During a June interview with TheWrap, the former star of “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight” called her “Elsbeth” spinoff show “a dream job.”
“It’s something I wanted and hoped to get, but I never really dreamed I would do it at this point in my life,” she said at the time. “So the fact that it’s happening now makes me appreciate it maybe more than if it had happened in my 20s.”
The series was co-created and is executive produced by Robert and Michelle King with executive producers Liz Glotzer and Jonathan Tolins, who also serves as showrunner.
