CBS holds Matthew Gray Gubler drama 'Einstein' for 2026-2027 schedule
According to CBS, the primary reason for this delay is a lack of available space on the network's schedule for the 2025-2026 programming year. CBS executives are currently finalizing their lineup for the upcoming season and are scheduled to announce their fall 2025 plans at a press conference on Wednesday, May 7th. Sources suggest that the network determined 'Einstein' would be better positioned with a longer lead time for pre-production and a later launch window. The postponement of 'Einstein' raises questions regarding the future of 'The Equalizer,' which remains the last CBS scripted series awaiting renewal. The decision to hold 'Einstein' for a future season reflects a broader trend at CBS and other broadcast networks towards a more patient approach to developing and scheduling new series, allowing for extended runway periods for their launches. Notably, CBS had previously given an early series order to 'Sheriff Country,' which is also slated to air in the 2025-2026 season. Furthermore, the delay could also be seen as a strategic move in light of potential future industry disruptions. During the recent Hollywood strikes, several networks, particularly NBC, strategically held back scripted content to have strike-contingency programming available. By waiting until 2026, CBS ensures that 'Einstein' will be a valuable asset in its programming inventory should any further production stoppages occur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo 'Einstein,' based on a successful German format, is a drama that centers on Lewis Einstein , the brilliant but aimless great-grandson of Albert Einstein. His life as a comfortably tenured professor takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself on the wrong side of the law. Consequently, he is compelled to use his extraordinary intellect to assist Veronica 'Ronni Paris,' a sharp and disciplined detective with the New Jersey State Police, in solving complex homicide cases. Gubler portrays the eccentric genius Lewis Einstein, whose ability to unravel intricate crimes may finally provide his life with a sense of purpose, while Rosa Salazar plays Detective Paris. The series is executive produced by a team including Andy Breckman, Tariq Jalil, Rose Hughes, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, Laura Beetz, and director Randy Zisk. The original German series, 'Einstein,' began as a television movie in 2015, starring Tom Beck, and was created by writers Martin Ritzenhoff and Matthias Dinter. They subsequently developed it into a full series through Zeitsprung Pictures, which enjoyed a three-season run and was distributed to over 100 territories. The journey to adapt 'Einstein' for American television has been lengthy, with several previous attempts that did not come to fruition. Michael Reisz and Carol Mendelsohn developed a version for NBC in 2018, and Andy Breckman and Randy Zisk first tried to bring their iteration to CBS in 2019. The network also explored a gender-swapped adaptation in 2020 from Lauren Gussis and Corinne Brinkerhoff, but that project also ultimately did not move forward, making the current 'Einstein' starring Matthew Gray Gubler the adaptation finally slated to reach audiences, albeit a bit later than initially anticipated.
