As Criminal Minds fans wait for the next season of Evolution on the 2026 TV schedule, there is another Criminal Minds star who will soon be returning to television. That's right, while Matthew Gray Gubler has only popped up once on Evolution as Dr. Spencer Reid, he has his eyes set on a different TV role. And the ball has finally started rolling for his return to television.
It was previously announced that Gubler will be leading CBS’ new drama, Einstein, which centers on Gubler’s Lew, the great-grandson of the famous physicist, who uses his skills to help solve murders. The series was initially ordered for the 2025-2026 season, but CBS delivered some bad news last year when it revealed that it would be held for the 2026-2027 season because there was just no room. Now it seems like the show is finally getting off the ground with its latest update.
