The network announced a series order for the show, in which Criminal Minds alum Matthew Gray Gubler plays the famed physicist’s great-grandson, a week ago. As CBS began assembling its schedule for the 2025-26 season, however, the network decided that it didn’t have enough space (-time) to fit Einstein into the slate.

Rosa Salazar will no longer lead CBS’ “Einstein” alongside Matthew Gray Gubler. The news comes just over a week after CBS greenlit the drama series, and days after the network pushed it from the 2025-2026 television season to 2026-2027.

Gubler is returning in one of the new shows that CBS has ordered to series, Einstein, and it was originally set to be part of the 2025-2026 season. Read on for everything we know about when it will premiere, who’s joining Matthew Gray Gubler in the cast, and more.
