Posted in: CBS, Paramount+, TV | Tagged: Elsbeth

Along with our CBS’s Elsbeth S02E18: “I Know What You Did Thirty-Three Summers Ago” preview, we look ahead to the remainder of the season.

After giving Kathy Bates-starring Matlock the time it needed to wrap up its first season, CBS and Robert King and Michelle King‘s Carrie Preston, Carra Patterson, and Wendell Pierce-starring Elsbeth returns this week in a very big way. In S02E18: “I Know What You Did Thirty-Three Summers Ago,” Elsbeth (Preston) is running out of time to shut down Michael Emerson‘s Judge Milton Crawford before he becomes a federal judge – how far is she willing to go to expose him as a murderer? Along with the official overview and image gallery for tonight’s episode, we also have five (yes, five) sneak peeks to pass along. In addition, we have the official overview and image gallery for the season’s penultimate episode, S02E19: “I’ve Got a Little List,” followed by a look at the official overview for the May 8th season finale, S02E20: “Ramen Holiday” (with a whole lot of familiar faces returning to help/hinder Elsbeth).
