Einstein, the CBS crime drama pilot led by Matthew Gray Gubler, gets a positive update in a new report. It was confirmed last October that Gubler would headline theEinsteinfor CBS and produce the pilot. It marks his return to the network that paved the way for his breakout role as Dr. Spencer Reid inCriminal Minds, a character he played for 15 seasons and will reprise for one episode in the upcomingCriminal Minds: Evolutionseason 3.
Deadlineoffers an update on the pilots and shows that have yet to be renewed at CBS, mentioning thatEinsteinis in a good position to get picked up to series. It’s mentioned that the project, fromMonkcreator Andy Breckman and director Randy Zisk, is well-suited for the network because the potential series about Albert Einstein’s great-grandsonis a procedural that also benefits from a solid sense of humor.
What The Latest Update Means For Einstein
Gubler Is Potentially Returning To CBS
Einsteinis based on the German series of the same name, focusing on the brilliant but directionless Lew Einstein. A tenured professor who lives fairly comfortably and is Albert Einstein’s great-grandson, Lew’s circumstances change when his wild behavior gets him in trouble with the law. From then on, he is pressured to work with Detective Inspector Maddie Paris (played byAlita: Battle Angelstar Rosa Salazar) and lean on his impressive intellect to help her solve cases.
Hailing from CBS Studios, with Breckman and Zisk as executive producers alongside Tariq Jalil, Rose Hughes, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, and Laura Beetz,Einsteinwill join a busy slate at CBS if it’s picked up. The network already has 18 scripted series on the schedule, in addition to three comedy pilots that are in contention, and an already-confirmedBlue Bloodsspinoffcentered on Donnie Wahlberg’s character. However,the format thatEinsteinis tapping into tends to work like a charm.
Our Take On Einstein
It Could Break Out Like Other Shows
The format of a savant that helps with cases is tried and true in the network television space, whether it’sHigh Potentialseason 2,Elsbeth, orMatlock. All three shows have been successes over the past year, with two of the shows already on CBS. But it dates back further, encompassing favorites likeMonkandPsych. With the creative force behindMonkonboard, and a likable actor like Gubler, the chances ofEinsteindoing well look to be very solid.
