Jones will recur as Cameron Clayden, a handsome medical examiner in New York.

Gruffudd guest stars as Angus, a handsome Scottish artist who witnesses a murder in New York through a video art installation that connects to his small Scottish town. Sparks fly between Angus and Elsbeth when they join forces to solve the murder from across the pond in this Valentine’s Day special episode.

Either one or both will be the big baddie of the episode.

Elsbeth is produced by CBS Studios and executive produced by Robert King, Michelle King, Jonathan Tolins, Liz Glotzer, Erica Shelton Kodish, Bryan Goluboff and Gail Barringer with Tolins serving as showrunner. Robert and Michelle King co-created the series.
