James is gearing up to star alongside his dad on Elsbeth, with the father-son duo set to make their onscreen debut together in tonight’s episode.

The dad-and-son duo will appear in the episode Foiled Again of the hit CBS series.

The synopsis of the show reads: “Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) finds herself fencing with Lawrence Grey (Matthew), an independent educational consultant who promises an Ivy League future to high-paying clients and their painfully average kids.

“The case also causes Elsbeth and Teddy to question how well she prepared him for the real world.”

FATHER AND SON DUO

Matthew and James previously opened up about working together on the sitcom.

Speaking to People, Matthew said: “I was so proud and happy to work with my son James.

“Working with everyone on Elsbeth was a pleasure and I’m excited for the episode to come out.”

James then added: “What a thrill it was to work side by side with my dad — who also happens to be my favorite actor!

“The whole experience of working on Elsbeth was beyond exciting and I am very grateful to the producers for giving me this opportunity!”

FAMOUS FAMILY

James’ parents Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have three children.

James Wilkie was born on October 28, 2002.

While twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell were born on June 22, 2009 via surrogate.
