Produced by CBS Studios, Elsbeth is executive produced by Robert King, Michelle King, showrunner Jonathan Tolins, and others. The Kings are also the creators of the series.
Feldstein recently wrapped filming on Focker In-Law, the fourth installment of the Meet the Parents franchise. She has made recent appearances in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building as Althea and has previously portrayed Monica Lewinsky in Impeachment: American Crime Story. Her filmography also includes notable projects like Drive-Away Dolls, Booksmart, and Lady Bird.
Dunne is celebrated for his roles in An American Werewolf in London and After Hours. He will soon appear in Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing alongside Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz, with a rich history of television roles in series like The Girls on the Bus and This Is Us. In addition to acting, Dunne directed films such as Addicted to Love and the Netflix documentary The Center Will Not Hold, which centered on his aunt, Joan Didion. His memoir, “The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir,” is set to be released in June 2024 and has been designated as a New York Times Best Seller.
