Sarah Jessica Parker’s Son James Is Following in Her Footsteps—Here’s How

There’s a saying that goes, "your children will follow the footsteps that you leave for them," and while every family dynamic is different, it definitely seems to ring true for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's son, James Wilkie Broderick.

According to Deadline, James is set to make his guest-starring debut on the upcoming episode of CBS’ anthology crime series Elsbeth. But here’s the plot twist—his dad, Matthew, will also be appearing in the episode. That means for the first time ever, father and son will share the screen together, playing key roles in a story set in the cutthroat world of college admissions consulting.

In the episode, Matthew will play Lawrence Grey, a high-powered figure who helps Manhattan’s elite get their kids into the best prep schools and Ivy League colleges—no matter their grades or test scores, Deadline reports. Lawrence is rich, powerful and well-connected but when someone threatens his position, he doesn’t hesitate to resort to drastic measures to protect his empire.

As for James, the outlet reports he will take on the role of Carl, a “success trainer” at Grey’s company, Outmatch Educational Consulting. He helps the children of New York’s wealthiest families navigate the world of college admissions, doing whatever it takes to secure their place at top-tier universities.
