About
CBS's critically acclaimed The Good Wife spinoff stars Carrie Preston as the eccentric attorney-turned-NYPD-consultant Elsbeth Tascioni. The show films extensively on location throughout New York City, showcasing the city as a character unto itself. Season 2 (premiered October 2024) featured filming at Rockefeller Center's ice rink, the Upper West Side around 67 Riverside Drive, Madison Avenue between 77th and 79th Streets, and Cortlandt Alley in Lower Manhattan. Real NYC businesses appear on screen, including Il Cortile restaurant at 125 Mulberry Street in Little Italy. Additional locations include Central Park, Citi Field, and the Empire State Building. The show has been renewed for Season 3, cementing its status as one of CBS's strongest new procedurals. Its inverted mystery format -- showing the crime first, then watching Elsbeth unravel it -- has drawn comparisons to Columbo.
