Matthew Broderick will share the screen with his and Sarah Jessica Parker‘s son James for the first time in an upcoming episode of the CBS drama series, Elsbeth.
On Wednesday, the network told PEOPLE that the father-son duo will make their onscreen debut together on the Thursday, February 20 episode of the hit show, titled Foiled Again. Episodes air Thursdays at 7p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET.
Matthew, 62, will play Lawrence Grey, a wealthy and ruthless prep school consultant who uses his connections to get Manhattan’s elite kids into Ivy League schools — no matter the cost, even murder.
James Wilkie, 22, will take on the role of Carl, a slick ‘success trainer’ at Grey’s consulting firm, Outmatch Educational Consulting, where he helps the children of the super-rich secure their spots at top schools.
An official synopsis teased that the episode will see ‘the mysterious death of a college admissions officer.
‘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,’ it read.

‘The case also causes Elsbeth — the titular character — and Teddy (Ben Levi Ross) to question how well she prepared him for the real world.’
In an preview from the forthcoming episode, Lawrence is seen diving into a case while Carl (James), a high-ranking ‘success trainer’ at Outmatch Educational Consulting, observes.
As Carl steps into his office, Elsbeth wastes no time questioning his connection to the character Ethan.
To which Lawrence replies: ‘He was one of my early success stories. He was just a scrawny little kid in his high school drama club, always puffing on his inhaler. I helped him find fencing which changed his life.’
When pressed about Ethan’s asthma, Carl doesn’t hesitate. ‘That was something he mentioned to everyone,’ he replies.
Elsbeth then shifts her focus to Lawrence’s team, scrutinizing the role his employees play in shaping young minds.
‘So all these young people are helping high school seniors?’ she asks in the clip.
Lawrence quickly corrects her. ‘Oh no, we usually start younger,’ he explains, to which Elsbeth quips, ‘That explains the sandbox.’

With a smile, Lawrence replies, ‘Never too early.’ But his words then made Elsbeth reflect on her own parenting choices.
‘Gosh, seeing all this makes me wonder if I did right by Teddy,’ she admits, revealing that her son now works for a nonprofit. Lawrence offers a lighthearted response, teasing, ‘As long as he’s happy.’
Back in November, the father-son duo dished on the highly anticipated episode, saying they are ‘proud and happy’ to have worked on this project together.
‘Working with everyone on Elsbeth was a pleasure and I’m excited for the episode to come out,’ Matthew said.
His son chimed in: ‘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.’
