3 TF1 takes Elsbeth featuring Carrie Preston to France
Paramount Global Content Distribution has licensed the highly anticipated CBS Studios series Elsbeth to TF1 exclusively in France. The announcement was made at MIPCOM 2003, which closed yesterday. The show is produced by CBS Studios.

‘Elsbeth’ is based on the popular character featured in ‘The Good Wife’ and ‘The Good Fight’ and stars Emmy Award winner Carrie Preston. It is executive produced by Robert and Michelle King, Liz Glotzer and Jonathan Tolins.

‘Elsbeth’ stars Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who utilises her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD. After leaving her successful legal career in Chicago to tackle a new investigative role in New York City, Elsbeth finds herself jockeying with the toast of the NYPD, Captain C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce), a charismatic and revered leader.

Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson), a stoic and ethical officer who quickly develops an appreciation for Elsbeth’s insightful and offbeat ways.

“This series is an example of the innovative and excellent storytelling that CBS Studios produces, and we are confident that TF1 will provide an exceptional home for its future success in France,” said Catherine Molinier, Vice President, Client Relations, Paramount Global Content Distribution.

“Elsbeth is a series created around a strong, charismatic character, just as we like them at TF1,” adds Sophie Leveaux, Artistic Director of Acquisitions & International Drama Development, TF1. “The recognised expertise of the producers has made ‘The Good Wife’ universe a TV series loved by audiences and Elsbeth will be a great asset to TF1's programming.”
