CBS detective Einstein is moving ahead with Matthew Gray Gubler and Melissa Fumero

Rosa Salazar was originally cast, but production delays led to her being recast

What is Einstein

From the Deadline report:

Einstein follows Lewis Einstein (Gubler), the brilliant but directionless great-grandson of Albert Einstein. He 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 (Fumero) solve her most puzzling cases.

Lewis is a popular professor at Princeton … when he actually shows up for class. Irreverent and misguided, his genius and famous name weigh heavily on him, but using his gift to help solve homicides may — finally — offer his life some direction and purpose.

Do we know more about the character Melissa Fumero is playing

She will play Teri, a Detective Inspector for the New Jersey State Police. Sharp and disciplined, Teri demands a lot from her colleagues and even more from herself, and feels conflicted about working with Professor Einstein.

We assume the show will move to production in the next few months and more information on wider cast should be available then. We’ll keep you posted.
