Rosa Salazar will no longer lead CBS’ “Einstein” alongside Matthew Gray Gubler. The news comes just over a week after CBS greenlit the drama series, and days after the network pushed it from the 2025-2026 television season to 2026-2027.

CBS's "Einstein" lost its female lead after being delayed for a year. The drama series starring Matthew Gray Gubler was pushed to the 2026-27 TV season due to limited space on the network's schedule,

The network announced a series order for the show, in which Criminal Minds alum Matthew Gray Gubler plays the famed physicist’s great-grandson, a week ago. As CBS began assembling its schedule for the 2025-26 season, however, the network decided that it didn’t have enough space (-time) to fit Einstein into the slate.
