CBS Orders ‘Einstein’ Crime Procedural Pilot From ‘Monk’ Duo For 2025-26 Consideration
CBS continues to move ahead with its long-term development strategy, ordering another pilot targeting the 2025-26 broadcast season. The network has picked up to pilot drama Einstein (working title), from the Monk team of creator/executive producer Andy Breckman and director/executive producer Randy Zisk. It follows a pilot order for comedy DMV and a development room […]
In it, brilliant but directionless, the great grandson of Albert Einstein 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. With a brilliant detective at the center, Einstein draws parallels to Monk — as well as to CBS’ 2000s procedural drama Numbers, about a college mathematics professor and prodigy who helps his FBI agent brother solve crimes. 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.
