Is Cupertino New Tonight? Air Time, Channel and the Next New Episode

Quick answer: Yes — Cupertino has a new episode tonight, Thursday, Oct. 22, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS: "Juno" (Season 1, Episode 3). It is new every Thursday through Nov. 5, and the Oct. 29 episode is "A.J. & Buddy." CBS's episode releases and The Futon Critic's listings both show the 10 p.m. hour; we checked the listings at 9:30 a.m. ET on Oct. 22.

Last new episode: "Vik & Bo" (Season 1, Episode 2) on Thursday, Oct. 15. The series premiered on Thursday, Oct. 8, with "Michael & Olivia."

Is Cupertino new tonight?

On Thursdays in the weeks listed below, yes. CBS describes Cupertino as a David-versus-Goliath legal drama set in Silicon Valley: Mike Colter plays a lawyer cheated out of his stock options by a tech start-up, and Rachel Keller plays another fired attorney who joins him to take on cases against the tech elite. Robert King and Michelle King wrote the premiere, and Robert King directed it.

One detail only the releases show: the Oct. 8 premiere ran a minute late. CBS's release for that night gave 10:01 to 11 p.m. ET/PT, and The Futon Critic's listings show 10:01 p.m. for Oct. 8 and 10 p.m. for every Thursday after it. The Oct. 15 release says 10 to 11 p.m., and so do the releases for Oct. 22 and 29.

When is the next new episode of Cupertino?

"Juno" on Oct. 22 is next. In CBS's release, Natalia asks Michael and Olivia to take over a case for a distraught mother who blames a companion chatbot for her son's patricide, as part of the deal to fund the firm. Renée Elise Goldsberry appears as Nichole, the opposing counsel, and Fisher Stevens guest stars as Natalia's billionaire ex-husband.

"A.J. & Buddy" follows on Oct. 29: Michael and Olivia defend the young founders of a prediction market site, and one of them flees on a private jet with Christy. Amanda Warren guest stars as District Attorney Sally Clausen, per CBS. The Futon Critic's listings also name "Celeste" for Nov. 5, but CBS had not issued a release for it when we checked, so that row reads as listed. Nov. 12, 19 and Dec. 3, 10 and 17 are held at 10 p.m. with the episode still marked TBA. The listings also show repeats at 10:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 18 ("Vik & Bo") and Sunday, Nov. 1 ("A.J. & Buddy").

Why isn't Cupertino on some Thursdays?

The date to watch is Nov. 26. When we read The Futon Critic's CBS listings, they had entries for Nov. 19 and Dec. 3 but none for Nov. 26, and TVmaze has no episode on that date either. We haven't found a published reason, so treat it as "no new episode listed" until CBS says more. Local CBS stations can also move a network hour for sports or breaking news; check your station if the show isn't where you expect.

What time and channel is Cupertino on?

The streaming rows come from CBS's releases for Oct. 8 and Oct. 22, which say Premium subscribers can watch live and on demand and Essential subscribers on demand the day after. Elsbeth airs in the hour before on Thursdays, and Georgie & Mandy and Eternally Yours open the night at 8 p.m. Find the network's other shows on the CBS page and every show we track on the new-tonight index.

Who is in the cast?

CBS's cast list names Mike Colter (Michael), Rachel Keller (Olivia), Ella Stiller (Christy), Nik Dodani (Vik), Busy Philipps (Natalia), Renée Elise Goldsberry (Nichole) and Joe Morton (Bayard).
