The network has given a series order to the couple's legal drama Cupertino for the 2026-27 season. The pickup comes after CBS announced in May that it would open a writers room for the show and commissioned 13 scripts. Cupertino will also reunite the Kings and Evil star Mike Colter, who has a lead role in the series. Colter also had recurring roles on The Good Wife and The Good Fight. Cupertino is named after the California city that's home to Apple's headquarters. The show's logline reads, "Cupertino is a David vs. Goliath legal drama set in the heart of Silicon Valley that follows a lawyer (Colter) who is being cheated out of his stock options by his former employer, a tech startup. Refusing to back down, he joins forces with another recently fired attorney to represent those taken advantage of by the tech elite and help them fight back in a high-stakes battle against the Goliaths controlling Silicon Valley."
