Kings' Universe Expands: New Shows, Old Faces
2 Oct
Summary
- Robert and Michelle King's new legal drama 'Cupertino' premieres soon.
- It features actors from 'The Good Wife' and 'Evil'.
- 'Cupertino' and 'Elsbeth' are separate shows but share actors.
The television landscape is expanding with new legal dramas from creators Robert and Michelle King. Their latest series, "Cupertino," is set to premiere on October 8, 2026, and will feature actor Mike Colter in the lead role. This new show will air alongside "Elsbeth," another project from the Kings.
While "Cupertino" and "Elsbeth" are not plot-connected, they exist within the same "multiverse" created by the Kings. This means audiences can anticipate actor crossovers, a hallmark of the Kings' productions. "Cupertino" will star Mike Colter, who previously appeared on "The Good Wife." Renée Elise Goldsberry, also a "Good Wife" guest star, and Rob McClure, who has featured in "Elsbeth," "Evil," and "The Good Fight," are also part of the "Cupertino" cast.
Fans may hope for guest appearances from actors like Michael Emerson, Katja Herbers, or Aasif Mandvi, who have strong ties to the Kings' previous series. Both "Elsbeth" and "Cupertino" are scheduled to air on CBS, with "Elsbeth's" Season 4 premiere at 9 p.m. ET and "Cupertino's" series premiere immediately following at 10 p.m. ET. Streaming options include Paramount+.
