Evil<\/a>\u00a0star Mike Colter<\/a> has lined up his next gig with series creators Robert and Michelle King, and it doesn\u2019t sound a\u00a0whole\u00a0lot less unholy than the whole \u201cDemons waging war on the Catholic church\u201d thing from their last job together. Specifically, Colter is set to star in\u00a0Cupertino<\/a>, a new legal thriller about Silicon Valley that\u2019s just been picked up to series by CBS. That continues what\u2019s been a very long off-and-on relationship between the network, Colter, and the Kings, stretching back to the days when Colter was a recurring bad guy on the married showrunners\u2019\u00a0The Good Wife.<\/p>\n

This time, he\u2019ll be playing one of the legal eagles himself, who goes on the attack after being screwed over on his stock options by a tech start-up he was working for. (Press copy for the show describes it as a David vs. Goliath story, so presumably the fact that the guy getting very mad about his stock options is being played by the very charismatic Colter will help shore up his \u201clikable underdog\u201d bona fides.) The upshot is that this is a show where the \u201ctech elites\u201d are the bad guy, screwing over the little lawyer, which does feel like an idea with some zeitgeist energy to it. (Also, the presence of the Kings\u2014who will apparently be splitting time on this between their other currently running CBS series, Elsbeth<\/a>\u2014all but promises that the show will have some good, pulpy fun powering the whole endeavor.)<\/p>\n

Because CBS likes long development cycles on its shows, we won\u2019t be seeing\u00a0Cupertino\u00a0for another year; it\u2019s expected to debut as part of the 2026-2027 TV season, where it\u2019ll premiere along Einstein, a show we keep forgetting exists\u2014and then abruptly, unhappily get reminded that it stars Criminal Minds\u2018 Matthew Gray Gubler as the \u201cbad boy\u201d physicist descendant of Albert Einstein, who ends up helping the police solve crimes with his big, sexy brain. Congratulations, Cupertino (a show about a man very mad about his stock options): You are somehow now the most relatable premise on CBS\u2019s 2026 lineup.<\/p>\n
