deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Carrie Preston says viewers will learn a lot more about Elsbeth Tascioni in season two of her CBS show and should also buckle-up for some surprises.
She is also aiming high with her dream guest star ahead of Elsbeth‘s second outing. Preston is at the Monte Carlo TV Festival and sat down with Deadline to talk about the show.
