CBS<\/a> is shifting gears for the third season of its hit series, officially submitting the procedural for consideration in comedy categories this awards season instead of drama, Variety has learned exclusively.<\/p>\n The series, led by Emmy winner Carrie Preston<\/a>, spun off from \u201cThe Good Wife<\/a>\u201d and \u201cThe Good Fight<\/a>,\u201d has been praised for its eccentric tone and lighthearted approach to crime-solving. Despite its foundation as a mystery-of-the-week drama, the network\u2019s decision to pivot to comedy reflects the show\u2019s distinctive blend of wit and quirky storytelling that sets it apart from traditional procedurals.<\/p>\n The process for switching categories for Golden Globes, SAG<\/a> and Critics Choice has already been completed and accepted. For DGA<\/a>, the petition process is currently underway. However, for WGA, the guild does not allow shows to petition to move. Therefore, \u201cElsbeth<\/a>\u201d will remain in drama for the WGA Awards moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.imdb.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cElsbeth\u201d is a comedy now, seriously.
