Mike Colter To Star In Cupertino Legal Drama From Evil's Robert And Michelle King

Mike Colter has reunited with some of his Evil colleagues.

Colter will star in Cupertino, a legal drama based in Silicon Valley in development at CBS, TVLine has confirmed. Cupertino hails from Evil's Robert and Michelle King.

In May, CBS ordered 12 episode scripts for the potential series; it later commissioned a writers' room that is slated to open this fall. Titled after the city that houses Apple's headquarters, Cupertino is described as a "David vs. Goliath legal show" set in the San Francisco Bay Area's high-tech hub, and it is pending a series pickup at CBS.

Colter will play a lawyer fired by a Silicon Valley start-up intending to cheat him out of his stock options. "Refusing to back down," the official character description reads, "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."

Fans of the Kings will remember that they also created legal dramas The Good Wife and The Good Fight; Colter appeared on both as Chicago drug lord Lemond Bishop.

The Kings are writing Cupertino's pilot script and will executive-produce. Liz Glotzer is also on board as an additional EP. The series is currently slated to make its debut on CBS during the 2026-27 TV season, along with the delayed Einstein.

In addition to playing Evil's beleaguered priest David for four seasons, Colter's TV work includes Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, The Defenders, The Following, American Horror Story and Ringer.
