Overview
- The project, which was reported on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, has Scott Bakula set to star in and executive produce an untitled high-concept detective drama at CBS.
- Michael Sussman is writing the series and will serve as an executive producer, reuniting with Bakula after their work together on Star Trek: Enterprise.
- Dean Devlin’s Electric Entertainment is producing the show and the company’s involvement would represent its first reported move into broadcast television.
- The series is described as a Los Angeles‑set detective procedural and Bakula’s role has been framed as a notable "leap" from his Dwayne Pride character on NCIS: New Orleans.
- The project remains in early development with no casting, pilot order, episode count, or series pickup announced, so CBS’s next steps will determine whether the show advances to pilot or series status.
