EINSTEIN (CBS) - The Eye is taking a third stab at importing the German police procedural. Lauren Gussis is behind the latest incarnation, which "centers on a roguish, out-of-the-box-thinking physics professor who happens to be the secret, illegitimate great-granddaughter of Albert Einstein. She begrudgingly partners with a Boston homicide detective to not only help solve the most puzzling of crimes, but also address the problems ever-present inside the institution of policing itself." Green Ribbon's Corinne Brinkerhoff and Tiffany Grant; Intrigue Entertainment's Tariq Jalil, Lucas Carter and Joe Wiggins; and Red Arrow Studios' Joel Denton and Shirley Bowers will also executive produce for CBS Studios. Michael Reisz and Andy Breckman were behind the other two takes in 2018 and 2019, respectively. (Deadline.com)

While Omar is looking for ways to reconnect with his roots after his breakup, Reema is stepping outside of her cultural comfort zone for the first time in her life. Together this modern-day Arab Odd Couple are forced to confront a post-divorce reality while navigating adult ass whoopings, generational trauma, and their own co-dependent relationship." Skydance Television's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Bill Bost will also executive produce. (Deadline.com)
ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST (NBC) - Jee Young Han and Felix Mallard will recur on the upcoming season as Jenna Kang, "Emily's (Alice Lee) wild child older sister"; and Aiden, "Zoey's (Jane Levy) next door neighbor growing up," respectively. (Deadline.com)
