CBS has officially picked up the legal drama series “Cupertinto” for the 2026-2027 season.

The show hails from Robert and Michelle King, who will write, executive produce, and co-showrun the series under their King Size Productions banner. Robert will also direct the pilot. As previously announced, Mike Colter will star.

The logline states that the show is “a David vs. Goliath legal drama set in the heart of Silicon Valley that follows a lawyer (Colter) who is being cheated out of his stock-options by his former employer, a tech start-up. Refusing to back down, he joins forces with another recently fired attorney to represent those taken advantage of by the tech elite, and help them fight back in a high-stakes battle against the Goliaths controlling Silicon Valley.”

The Kings originally set the show up for development at CBS in 2024 under their overall deal with CBS Studios. CBS then commissioned a full writers room and a 13-episode script order earlier this year. The series also reunites the Kings and Colter, as he previously starred in their supernatural drama “Evil” for four seasons. The show originally premiered on CBS but moved to Paramount+ after one season. He also appeared across multiple seasons of the Kings hit CBS show “The Good Wife” as Lemond Bishop, later reprising the role in the spinoff “The Good Fight.”

In addition to the Kings, Liz Glotzer is an executive producer on “Cupertino.” CBS Studios will produce. The Kings currently have the drama series “Elsbeth” at CBS, itself another spinoff of “The Good Wife.” The show recently debuted its third season.

This is now the second new series that CBS has earmarked for the 2026-2027 season. The drama series “Einstein” starring “Criminal Minds” alum Matthew Gray Gubler was originally meant to begin airing during the 2025-2026 season, but was delayed to next year back in April. The comedy series “Ghosts” has also been renewed through the 2026-2027 season, bringing the show to its sixth season.
