The new development for CBS is written and executive produced by Lauren Gussis, the creator of Insatiable, and executive produced by American Gothic creator Corinne Brinkerhoff.
In line with the original German series, which was a hit on SAT.1 in Germany over three seasons produced by Zeitsprung Pictures, the CBS series is centred on a brilliant young physics professor who is the secret, illegitimate great-grandchild of Albert Einstein. The Gussis and Corinne twist is that she’s his great-granddaughter, not the great-grandson of the German original.
The contemporary series will see her begrudgingly partner with a Boston homicide detective to help solve the city’s most puzzling of crimes, and to address problems ever-present inside the police institution.
Einstein has been set up at CBS by Tariq Jalil’s Intrigue Entertainment and CBS Studios.
Executive Producers are Lauren Gussis, Corinne Brinkerhoff, Tiffany Grant of Green Ribbon, Lucas Carter, Joe Wiggins of Intrigue Entertainment, and Joel Denton and Shirley Bowers of Red Arrow Studios International.
The original Zeitsprung Pictures production of Einstein was written by Martin Ritzenhoff and Matthias Dinter based on their 2015 TV movie, starring Tom Beck (Alarm for Cobra 11). Red Arrow Studios International has sold the German series to over 100 territories and handles worldwide distribution of the format and finished tape.
Joel Denton, Acting President at Red Arrow Studios International, said: “We are delighted that Einstein is back in development at CBS with such a talented team. The changes to the format for a US audience promise to reveal new layers of the show and we are excited about this new series moving forward.”
The deal is managed for Red Arrow Studios International by Shirley Bowers, VP Sales & Acquisitions for North America, Australia and New Zealand.
