CBS has given series orders to both Tim Meadows’ single-cam comedy “DMV” and Matthew Gray Gubler‘s drama “Einstein.”
Both projects had been previously announced as pilots in development at the network.
In workplace comedy “DMV,” Meadows plays a former high school English teacher turned examiner, who wants nothing more than to get through the driving tests as quickly as possible. He stars alongside Harriett Dyer, who plays Colette, a big-hearted examiner who is “adorably neurotic” and “bad with boundaries,” but genuinely roots for the driving students to pass.
Molly Kearney is Barbara, the oversharing DMV boss who believes she is part of the gang, and Alex Tarrant is the dreamy surfer boy Noa. Tony Cavalero plays Vic, a “lovable scumbag” who was previously a security guard and head cook. Gigi Zumbado is Ceci, the “scrappy, tough and sassy drivers license photo taker.”
“Einstein” is a drama following the brilliant but directionless great grandson of Albert Einstein, who works as a comfortably tenured professor until he runs into the law and is forced to help a local police detective solve cases.
Gubler plays Lewis Einstein, whose gift to help solve homicide cases may offer his life some purpose, alongside Rosa Salazar as Veronica “Ronni” Paris,” a sharp and disciplined detective for the New Jersey State Police.
“DMV” is executive produced by Dana Klein, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Robyn Meisinger and pilot director Trent O’Donnell.
“Einstein” is executive produced by Andy Breckman, Tariq Jalil, Rose Hughes, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, Laura Beetz and director Randy Zisk.
Release dates will be announced when the CBS 2025-2026 schedule is revealed on May 7.
The news of these series orders comes as the network has canceled Damon Wayans Sr. and Jr.’s “Poppa’s House” and the competition series “The Summit.”
