CBS Orders ‘Cupertino,’ Kings’ Silicon Valley Legal Drama Starring Mike Colter for 2026–27

The pickup moves the project from a writers’ room commitment to full series under CBS’s year‑round development model.

Overview

  • Robert and Michelle King will write, executive produce and co‑showrun, with Robert King set to direct the premiere; CBS Studios and King Size Productions produce alongside executive producer Liz Glotzer.
  • The series centers on a lawyer cheated out of stock options who teams with another fired attorney to take on tech power players in a David‑versus‑Goliath courtroom fight.
  • Developed at CBS in 2024, the project advanced in May with a full writers’ room and a 13‑script order, with initial scripts delivered to the network earlier in October.
  • CBS has slated the show for the 2026–2027 season, with an exact premiere date still to be announced.
  • The series reunites the Kings with star Mike Colter, who previously collaborated with them on Evil and appeared in The Good Wife and The Good Fight.
