Billy Magnussen (Black Mirror) pops in to guest star as a playboy on CBS’s Elsbeth season two episode 19, “I’ve Got a Little List.” Episode 19, directed by Lily Mariye, will air on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT.
And speaking of Elsbeth episodes, how about #18? The episode marked the end of Michael Emerson’s guest-starring run on the series, led by his wife, Carrie Preston. In an interview with Variety, Preston spoke about the episode’s lasting impact on her character. “It is our most dramatic episode of the whole series so far, and I think it is an important episode because of that,” said Preston. “We are going to see how it is that she overcomes it, because it does knock her off her feet and it really sends her into a darker place that we haven’t seen before.”
“I’ve Got a Little List” Plot: While investigating what appears to be a random shooting, Elsbeth meets Rod (Magnussen), an entitled playboy working through his bucket list of thrills, which may include murder. In the end, Elsbeth’s efforts to catch the killer land her in serious legal trouble.
Carrie Preston stars as Elsbeth Tascioni, Wendell Pierce stars as Captain C.W. Wagner, and Carra Patterson is back as Officer Kaya Blanke. Robert King, Michelle King, Liz Glotzer, and Jonathan Tolins serve as executive producers.
