Overview
- Scott Bakula is set to star in and executive-produce an untitled, high-concept detective series for CBS, a development first reported on Oct. 8 and 9, 2026.
- Michael Sussman will write and serve as an executive producer, reuniting with Bakula after their work together on Star Trek: Enterprise.
- The show is described as a Los Angeles-set detective procedural that casts Bakula in a character that is a notable “leap” from his NCIS: New Orleans role, though plot and casting details remain under wraps.
- The project is in early development at CBS and must still be ordered to pilot and then cleared for series by the network, so attachment does not guarantee a broadcast run.
- If advanced to series, the show would mark Electric Entertainment’s first broadcast TV outing and could draw strong fan attention given Bakula’s long-running roles on Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise and NCIS: New Orleans.
