Anna Camp Is “So Happy” Working With Carrie Preston On ‘Elsbeth’ After Never Having A ‘True Blood’ Scene Together

Anna Camp expressed her excitement about finally collaborating with Carrie Preston on the legal drama "Elsbeth" while attending the "Scream 7" world premiere at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The actress revealed that she is currently filming a guest spot for the upcoming third season of the CBS series, a professional engagement that has allowed her to fulfill a long-held desire to work with Preston after their careers previously intersected without overlapping on the set of HBO’s "True Blood." This reunion marks a significant personal and professional milestone for Camp, who has long admired Preston's work. During their respective tenures on the hit vampire drama series, Camp and Preston never had the opportunity to share a scene, a narrative coincidence that made their recent reunion on the set of "Elsbeth" particularly meaningful for both parties. Camp described the emotional moment of meeting her co-star, recalling that she and Preston were so overcome with enthusiasm that they "started squealing" when they finally came face-to-face for the production. The actress emphasized that the chance to act alongside the show's leading lady has been a definitive highlight of her experience joining the cast for the new season, turning a past regret into a present joy. Camp’s presence at the premiere offered a glimpse into the demanding schedule required of a working actress in the current entertainment landscape, as she pivoted between two major projects on opposite coasts. She explained to Deadline that she arrived in Los Angeles late the previous evening specifically for the red-carpet event and was scheduled to depart on a 1 a.m. flight immediately following the after-party to resume her duties on "Elsbeth." This whirlwind cross-country trip illustrates her dual commitment to promoting the latest installment of the legendary "Scream" horror franchise while simultaneously delivering a compelling performance in the popular television series.
