"He's Definitely a Formidable Foe for Elsbeth": Carrie Preston Teases What's Next For Judge Crawford [Exclusive]

Elsbeth is really making the most of its expanded episode count in Season 2, from having fun with more meta premises to injecting the procedural drama with a bit of festive energy. It's not all fun and games, however, as the second season has also given Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) quite the formidable foe in Judge Milton Crawford (Michael Emerson), a seemingly mild-mannered judge whom Elsbeth has every reason to believe might actually be a murderer. It's only after confiding in Chief Wagner (Wendell Pierce) that the case Elsbeth suspects might involve Crawford is reopened, though how the terrifying judge will react to that news is anyone's guess at this point — probably not well, though.
