Matthew Gray Gubler's Einstein Delayed at CBS Until 2026-27 Season — Find Out Why
Matthew Gray Gubler won't be able to show off his big brain as CBS' Einstein for a while.
The new crime procedural, which earned a series order at the Eye network last week, will now be held until the 2026-27 TV season, TVLine has learned. The reason? Too many shows in the pipeline at CBS.

As the schedule was being assembled, it was determined that limited shelf space created an opportunity for Einstein to benefit from a longer pre-production window, similar to other series greenlights in the past, according to a source.
Einstein stars Gubler as Albert Einstein's 'brilliant but directionless' great-grandson Lewis, who 'spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective solve her most puzzling cases,' per the official logline.
Rosa Salazar (Parenthood, Undone) co-stars as Veronica 'Ronni' Paris, a Detective Inspector for the New Jersey State Police 'who went into law enforcement after the death of her husband.' Based on the German dramedy of the same name, Einstein is being adapted by Monk creator Andy Breckman and executive producer/director Randy Zisk.
Along with Einstein, CBS also picked up the FBI offshoot CIA (starring Lucifer's Tom Ellis) and the Harriet Dyer comedy DMV for next season. The network's full fall schedule will be unveiled on Wednesday, May 7.
