Matthew Gray Gubler's Einstein, Harriet Dyer's DMV Comedy Ordered At CBS

It's official: Matthew Gray Gubler is returning to CBS.

The Eye network has handed a series order to Einstein, a new procedural headlined by the Criminal Minds vet. Additionally, CBS has greenlit the single-camera comedy DMV, which stars Colin From Accounts standout Harriet Dyer.

Based on the German dramedy of the same name, Einstein — which is being adapted by Monk creator Andy Breckman and executive producer/director Randy Zisk — focuses on Albert Einstein's "brilliant but directionless" great-grandson. Per the official logline, Lewis "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."

Rosa Salazar (Parenthood, Undone) co-stars as Veronica "Ronni" Paris, a Detective Inspector for the New Jersey State Police "who went into law enforcement after the death of her husband," per CBS. "Sharp and disciplined, Ronni demands a lot from her colleagues and even more from herself and feels conflicted about working with Professor Einstein."

DMV, meanwhile, is a workplace comedy "set at the place everyone dreads going most." The single-cam hails from executive producer Dana Klein (Friends, Fresh Off the Boat) and boasts an ensemble that includes Dyer, Tim Meadows and Molly Kearney (Saturday Night Live), Alex Tarrant (NCIS: Hawai'i), Tony Cavalero (The Righteous Gemstones) and Gigi Zumbado (The Rookie). (Dyer will also continue to write and star in the aforementioned Colin From Accounts, which was recently renewed for Season 3 at Paramount+.)

Einstein and DMV will premiere during the 2025-26 TV season, along with the newly ordered FBI offshoot CIA (starring Lucifer's Tom Ellis). CBS' fall schedule will be unveiled on Wednesday, May 7.
