In “Hot Tub Crime Machine,” after a man’s suspicious death in a hot tub, Elsbeth consults his wife, Freya (Mary-Louise Parker), a decluttering guru whose less-is-more philosophy and controlling personality appear at odds with her “throuple” relationship. Season 2 debuts Apr 3, featuring guest star Mary-Louise Parker. On Apr 10, guest stars include David Alan Grier and Ethan Slater. The series is based on the character featured in “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight.” “Elsbeth” is a CBS Studios production.
