Who is Ioan Gruffudd’s Angus in Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 11?

Ioan Gruffudd joins Elsbeth Season 2 as a guest star, playing the role of Angus, a musician.

Episode 11 of the popular series aired on February 13, 2025, ahead of Valentine’s Day this week, and featured a romantic development for the protagonist.

When asked about her future with Angus, Preston stated, “Let’s just say that Elsbeth hasn’t forgotten about him, and she’s got a lot on her plate, and she really enjoys being single in New York — not that she’s looking to date anyone. [It’s] more that she’s looking to reinvent herself, and she’s enjoying having this time to herself with her dog, and her son coming to visit more than he has in many recent years.” However, she did end on a positive note, saying that Elsbeth will certainly cherish the memories with Angus for days to come.
