‘Criminal Minds’ Matthew Gray Gubler To Headline ‘Einstein’ Pilot In Return To CBS
One of Criminal Minds' most popular stars, Matthew Gray Gubler, is returning to television as the lead of another CBS crime procedural, Einstein.
In it, brilliant but directionless, the great grandson of Albert Einstein (Gubler) 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. While very different as personalities, Lew Einstein shares scientific background with Gubler’s beloved Criminal Minds character Spencer Reid who also is a genius and holds Ph.D.s in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering. Breckman, who wrote the Einstein pilot, and Zisk, who will direct it, executive produce alongside Intrigue’s Tariq Jalil; Rose Hughes, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia and Laura Beetz for Seven One Studios International.
