Yes, Nathan Lane is the much-hyped guest star for the Season 2 premiere on October 17.
Series star Carrie Preston and showrunner Jonathan Tolins spoke with CinemaBlend about why Lane was the “first” and perfect choice to kick off the second season.
Fans can look forward to a special Halloween episode as well, which will actually air on Halloween night and feature Elsbeth herself in costume.
New episodes of Elsbeth will continue airing on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, as well as streaming via Paramount+.
