'Einstein' drama starring Matthew Gray Gubler delayed to 2026-27 season

CBS delays 'Einstein' starring Matthew Gray Gubler due to scheduling conflicts, while other new series like 'DMV' and 'Boston Blue' move forward.

"The network didn’t have enough space on its schedule to fit the show in. – Deadline"

Washington, April 30

CBS has announced that its recently ordered procedural drama 'Einstein' will not premiere next season as initially planned.

The network has decided to postpone the show until the 2026-27 season due to scheduling constraints, as per Deadline.

The decision to delay 'Einstein' comes after CBS began assembling its schedule for the 2025-26 season.

The network reportedly didn't have enough space on its schedule to fit the show in.

Despite the delay, CBS is moving forward with other new series, including the workplace comedy 'DMV,' which is still set to premiere next season.

CBS will have a busy schedule ahead, with three other new dramas set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.

These include 'Boston Blue,' a spinoff of 'Blue Bloods'; 'CIA,' set in the same fictional universe as 'FBI'; and 'Sheriff Country,' a spinoff of 'Fire Country.'

The network has also renewed a dozen scripted series and will continue to air reality staples like 'Survivor' and 'The Amazing Race.'

'Einstein' stars Matthew Gray Gubler as Lewis Einstein, the great-grandson of Albert Einstein and a tenured professor at Princeton who gets involved in solving puzzling cases with a detective played by Rosa Salazar.

The show is produced by CBS Studios and created by Andy Breckman, with executive producers including Randy Zisk, Tariq Jalil, and Rose Hughes.

Why delay such an interesting concept? 😕 As an Indian viewer who loves detective shows, I was really looking forward to seeing how they blend science with crime-solving. Hope the wait will be worth it!

CBS is making a mistake by prioritizing spinoffs over original content. We've seen enough FBI and Blue Bloods already. Einstein could have been a fresh take on the procedural genre.

Matthew Gray Gubler is perfect casting! Loved him in Criminal Minds. But 2026-27 is too far away yaar! By then we'll all be busy watching Indian OTT shows instead 😅

Interesting how American networks plan shows years in advance. In India, we get shows announced and released within months! Different production cultures I guess. Hope the delay means they'll perfect the script.

As a science student, I'm excited about this show but worried they might oversimplify Einstein's legacy. Hope they do proper research and don't just use his name for marketing. The concept sounds promising though!
