The show stars Matthew Gray Gubler as Lewis Einstein, 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.
Fumero's character, Teri, is 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. Rosa Salazar was originally cast in the role, but had to exit due to scheduling conflicts after CBS decided to delay the series until the 2026-27 season. The two sides parted ways by mutual agreement.
Executive producers include Andy Breckman, Randy Zisk, Michael Rauch, Tariq Jalil, Rose Hughes, Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia and Laura Beetz. Gubler also serves as a producer. CBS Studios is the studio.
Fumero can next be seen in the upcoming revenge thriller "Red Dirt", which is currently in pre-production.
