Carrie Preston's Wish: A 'Triple Threat' Guest Appearance on 'Elsbeth'
The world of television is buzzing with the latest scoop from Carrie Preston, who is pulling out all the stops to make a dream guest appearance happen on her CBS dramedy, 'Elsbeth'. But here's where it gets intriguing... Preston is jokingly encouraging her new co-star Lindsay Mendez to use her Broadway connections to bring none other than Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff on board!
Preston, known for her wit and charm, sat down with DECIDER to discuss the highly anticipated Season 3 of 'Elsbeth', which has already secured an impressive lineup of guest stars, including the legendary Stephen Colbert, the captivating Julia Fox, and the hilarious David Cross. And now, she's aiming even higher.
But here's where it gets controversial... Preston, with a twinkle in her eye, revealed her plan to tap into Mendez's theater connections. Mendez, a Broadway sensation in her own right, starred alongside Radcliffe and Groff in the 2023 revival of 'Merrily We Roll Along', which critics hailed as a triumph. Preston, having witnessed their electric chemistry on stage, is eager to recreate that magic on the small screen.
"Hey guys, I'm having a blast on this show!" Preston imagines Mendez telling her famous friends. "We would absolutely love to have them," she added, acknowledging the challenge of coordinating schedules with such in-demand talents. But she's not giving up, and neither is showrunner Jon Tolins, who has a history of writing roles tailored to specific actors, as he did for Matthew Broderick in Season 2.
As Preston puts it, "It's all about finding those gaps in their schedules and making it work." And who can blame her? With Radcliffe's global fame as the iconic Harry Potter and Groff's captivating voice in 'Frozen', their presence would undoubtedly create a buzz around the show.
The interview also delved into Preston's excitement about the new season, her admiration for the guest stars, and the unique dynamics on set. When asked about her character's favorite TV show, Preston playfully suggested 'Only Murders in the Building', highlighting the show's blend of mystery and humor.
As Season 3 of 'Elsbeth' unfolds, fans are left wondering: Will Preston's wish come true? Will Radcliffe and Groff make a surprise appearance? And what other surprises does this beloved dramedy have in store? Stay tuned, because the drama is just getting started!
