‘Elsbeth’: First Look at Steve Buscemi, J. Smith-Cameron & Jeff Hiller (VIDEO)

Elsbeth Season 3 returns at the end of February, and TV Insider has your first look at three new guest stars. Succession‘s J. Smith-Cameron, Steve Buscemi, and recent Emmy winner Jeff Hiller‘s characters are revealed in the new Elsbeth Season 3 promo with Carrie Preston above.

The three stars appear in different episodes in the second half of Elsbeth Season 3. Cameron plays Isadora, the vengeful director of the most prestigious debutante ball in New York.

Buscemi plays Simon, a crossword champion and obsessive perfectionist who winds up in a deadly battle with a puzzle’s longtime editor.

Hiller plays Felix, one of New York’s elite wigmakers — or, as he sees it, the top wigmaker in the city. Currently consigned to creating toupees for Wall Street executives and medical patients, Felix dreams of far more glamorous assignments. When his ambition leads him to make some very bad decisions, one of his rivals ends up dead.

Guest star Hamish Linklater is also seen in the promo above. He appears in the midseason premiere that airs on Thursday, February 26, at 10/9c on CBS.
