CBS Orders DMV and Matthew Gray Gubler’s EINSTEIN to Series

CBS has ordered two more shows for the 2025-26 season.

On the drama side, the network has ordered EINSTEIN, starring Matthew Gray Gubler. In the series, “Brilliant but directionless, the great grandson of Albert Einstein 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.”

Matthew Gray Gubler will play Lewis Einstein, “the great grandson of Albert Einstein, is a popular professor at Princeton…when he actually shows up for class. Irreverent and misguided, Lewis’ genius and famous name weighs heavily on him but using his gift to help solve homicides may- finally- offer his life some direction and purpose.” He’s joined by Rosa Salazar as Veronica “Ronni” Paris. Ronni “is a Detective Inspector for the New Jersey State Police, who went into law enforcement after the death of her husband. Sharp and disciplined, Ronni demands a lot from her colleagues and even more from herself and feels conflicted about working with Professor Einstein.”

Andy Breckman created the series, whose pilot was directed by Randy Zisk. Tariq Jalil, Rose Hughes, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, and Laura Beetz also serve as executive producers.

On the comedy side, the network has ordered single-cam show DMV. Based on Katherine Heiny’s short story, DMV is a “workplace comedy set at the place everyone dreads going most: the DMV. Our quirky and lovable characters are making minimum wage, doing a thankless job where customers are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Good thing they have each other.”

The ensemble includes:

Harriet Dyer (Colette): “The driving examiner with a huge heart, Colette takes the scared and nervous people because she’s calming and patient and genuinely roots for them to pass. Smart, self-aware, and working on herself, Colette is adorably neurotic, bad with boundaries, and often prioritizes other peoples’ feelings over her own.”

Tim Meadows (Gregg): “A former high school English teacher, “Gregg” is the examiner who likes to get through the driving tests, and the day, as quickly as possible. An uncanny ability to make dead-on observations of those around him, “Gregg” is sardonic, defeated and would love nothing more than to retire.”

Molly Kearney (Barbara): “Barbara’s the boss of this branch who considers herself one of the gang, even though “the gang” does not. A glass-half-full, over-sharer who is incredibly inappropriate and terrible at reading a room, Barbara cares deeply and tries very hard but misses the mark.”

Alex Tarrant (Noa): “Dreamy, charismatic, golden boy, Noa seems destined for much greater things than working at the DMV. He is good at everything and never gets into awkward situations. A star surfer, he lives the “Pura Vida” life and doesn’t sweat the small stuff.”

Tony Cavalero (Vic): “Before landing at the DMV, Vic worked as a bouncer, security guard, head cook and has found his true calling as a driving examiner. While Colette takes the nervous drivers, he takes the entitled ones who deserve to be taken down a notch. A lovable scumbag and odd-ball, Vic has no edit, doesn’t think about consequences, and has a wildly inflated sense of himself.”

Gigi Zumbado (Ceci): “Scrappy, tough, and sassy, drivers license photo taker Ceci has no time for anyone’s nonsense. She’s impatient, critical, and thinks she can do everyone’s job better than they can.”

Dana Klein wrote the pilot, which was directed by Trent O’Donnell. Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, and Robyn Meisinger serve as executive producers.

They join the FBI universe expansion CIA, which was also ordered to series earlier today.
