CBS is developing a new procedural TV series, Einstein, which marks the third attempt to adapt the popular German series for American television. Creator and writer Andy Breckman, known for his work on Monk, is optimistic that the combination of his writing skills and director Randy Zisk’s expertise will create a show that resonates with audiences. The German series followed a brilliant physicist and a police officer as they solved cases together, and the American adaptation adds a new twist by having the protagonist be the great-grandson of the famous physicist.
The new series tells the story of a young man who uses his wit to help solve cases after getting in trouble with the law. This dynamic adds an interesting layer to the procedural genre, and fans of the format are eagerly awaiting the show’s release. While there is no additional information announced about additional screenwriters or cast members, fans of procedurals are waiting with anticipation to see what’s in store.

Breckman and Zisk have previously worked on successful shows like Monk, which ran for eight seasons and was praised for its unique blend of humor and drama. Monk followed the adventures of a brilliant former San Francisco detective who consulted with the police while battling with an obsessive-compulsive disorder. The show’s success is a testament to Breckman’s writing skills and Zisk’s directing expertise, and fans of procedurals are likely to be excited about the new series.
The combination of Breckman’s writing skills and Zisk’s directing expertise has the potential to create a show that will resonate with audiences. The fact that CBS is developing the series, which has a history of finding and championing procedurals that lead its programming schedule for many years, is also a testament to the show’s potential. With CBS’s track record for producing successful TV shows, there is a good chance that Einstein will be a hit. Only time will tell, but it is clear that CBS has high hopes for the new series and fans of procedurals are sure to be excited about the new show.
