Einstein, CIA, DMV: CBS Picks Up Two Dramas and a Comedy
CBS is adding to its lineup next season. The network has ordered CIA, DMV, and Einstein for the 2025-26 season.
CIA is the planned FBI spin-off series from Dick Wolf. According to Deadline, Tom Ellis will star in the series as the CIA agent at the center of the action. A backdoor pilot was initially planned for the series but was canceled last month.
The following was shared about the series:
“Written by Wolf and FBI: Most Wanted showrunner David Hudgins, CIA (working title) centers on two unlikely partners – a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (Ellis), and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA’s New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.”
As for DMV and Einstein, the two comedy shows took the remaining slots for shows of that type on the network. Harriet Dyer stars in DMV, and Matthew Gray Gubler returns to CBS to star in Einstein. According to Deadline, DMV has already received a back script order for its first season.
