CBS is bringing fans another gripping courtroom drama titled Cupertino, created by the brilliant duo Robert and Michelle King — the minds behind The Good Wife and The Good Fight. The upcoming legal drama is set to premiere during the 2026–2027 season and will star Mike Colter in the leading role.
A New Legal Drama from the Kings
The creators of “The Good Wife” return with a new story about power, law, and justice in the tech world.
Robert and Michelle King, known for writing powerful legal and political dramas, are back as writers, producers, and co-showrunners for Cupertino. They are currently also running the hit show Elsbeth.
The series will be produced by CBS Studios, with Liz Glotzer also joining as an executive producer.

Mike Colter Returns to the Courtroom
Actor Mike Colter, who previously starred in the supernatural thriller Evil, reunites with the Kings for Cupertino. Fans may also remember him from Luke Cage, The Defenders, Jessica Jones, and The Good Wife.
Colter will play a lawyer in Silicon Valley who is cheated out of his stock options by a tech startup. Instead of giving up, he decides to fight back — joining forces with another lawyer who was also recently fired. Together, they take on big tech companies in court, fighting for people who have been wronged by the powerful tech elite.
The Storyline: A David vs. Goliath Battle
Mike Colter stars as a Silicon Valley lawyer who takes on powerful tech giants.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show is described as:
“Cupertino is a David vs. Goliath legal drama set in the heart of Silicon Valley. It follows a lawyer (Colter) who, after being cheated out of his stock options, joins forces with another fired attorney to help those taken advantage of by tech giants.”
The story mixes corporate greed, moral justice, and human courage, making it a must-watch for fans of realistic, emotion-driven dramas.

What We Know So Far?
Cupertino has been in development at CBS for quite some time. The pilot script received great feedback earlier this year, leading CBS to order 12 additional episodes.
The first episode will be directed by Robert King himself. No other cast members have been announced yet, and CBS has not revealed the official release date — but the series is expected to air in late 2026 or early 2027.
The show will join CBS’s 2026-27 lineup alongside another new series, Einstein, starring Matthew Gray Gubler.
