Elsbeth "Off Her Kilter a Little Bit" by Mom's Arrival: Carrie Preston

Carrie Preston teases how the arrival of Elsbeth's mother will affect her, and we have images for Season 4 Episode 2: "Death of a Playwright."

With less than a week to go until Robert King and Michelle King and Showrunner Jonathan Tolins's Carrie Preston and Wendell Pierce-starring Elsbeth returns for a fourth season on October 8th, we've got two updates to pass along. We've added official images from the network to the overview for October 15th's S04E02: "Death of a Playwright," which you can check out below. But before you get to that, Preston teased how Season 4 will be a major family affair when Elsbeth's mother travels in from the Midwest – and ends up throwing her "off her kilter a little bit."
