The season two finale of the hit drama series Elsbeth premieres on CBS Thursday, May 8 at 9/8c.

On the shocking season finale, Elsbeth finds herself in prison with some of the same high-class criminals she put away, and when one of them is stabbed to death, Elsbeth sets out to find the killer’s killer, while her colleagues back at the precinct fight to get her released.

Where can I watch the Elsbeth season 2 finale?

Those interested in catching season two’s conclusion can stream the season two finale even without access to traditional cable services through Fubo, DirecTV Stream or Paramount Plus—all of which offer free trials for new subscribers to enjoy before committing to a paid subscription.

What is Fubo and DirecTV Stream?

Fubo and DirecTV Stream are two of the top streaming services steadily replacing traditional cable services. Both offer free trials to new subscribers, a plethora of popular live TV channels, on-demand streaming options and helpful features such as unlimited DVR storage.

Fubo considers itself a sports-focused live streaming service, but with over 100 live TV channels available through its base package at just $84.99 after its free trial, it offers much more to its subscribers.

Popular TV channels available through Fubo include ABC, FOX, BET, MTV, CNBC, MSNBC, USA and much more.

DirecTV Stream mirrors Fubo by offering many of the same live TV channels and useful features. The base package starts at just $86.99 a month after its 5-day free trial and includes popular channels such as HGTV, ESPN, Bravo, CMT, CNN, BET and much more.

Two other DirecTV Stream packages are the Choice package (original price $114.99) and the Ultimate package (original price $129.99), both of which are part of an ongoing promotion that offers new subscribers $10 off the original price for the first three months of their subscription.

Paramount Plus is one of the most popular live streaming services on the market now. Through Paramount Plus, subscribers can access exclusive originals, movies and documentaries all in one place.

As of now, Paramount Plus offers two plans to new subscribers and both come with a week-long free trial. The base plan, Paramount+ Essential starts at just $7.99 a month and includes exclusive originals, the ability to stream on up to three devices concurrently, access to CBS News 24/7, and access to select Showtime series. This plan is also ad-supported.

The Paramount+ with Showtime plan starts at just $12.99 a month and includes everything that comes with the Essential plan plus 4K content, downloadable movies and shows, and all of Showtime’s content. Those hoping to ditch ads can do so through this plan.

Is Elsbeth renewed for another season?

Yes, CBS made the official renewal announcement in February 2025, and though the network has not yet confirmed an official release date for season three, fans of the show can likely expect a fall 2025 release date.
