Tracey Ullman Returns to Elsbeth in New Role

Tracey Ullman, a celebrated actress and comedienne, is returning to the legal procedural "Elsbeth" for its third season, which is scheduled to premiere on April 2. This appearance will see Ullman taking on a new role as a veteran gossip columnist named Betty Heymouth. Ullman previously guest-starred in the show's second season as Marilyn Gladwell, a professional psychic involved in a murder investigation.

"We wanted to celebrate the time-honored TV procedural tradition of bringing back former guest stars in entirely new roles - and who better than Tracey Ullman?" stated executive producer Jonathan Tolins. Ullman, known for her transformative abilities, was enthusiastic about returning. Carrie Preston, who stars as Elsbeth, expressed her admiration for Ullman, calling her a fan and admirer of her work.

Filming for the third season recently concluded, with the cast and crew celebrating at a wrap party in March. The network has also confirmed that "Elsbeth" has been renewed for a fourth season, with a projected airing in late 2026 or early 2027.
