A Yellowstone spin-off is moseying on over to CBS
Looking at CBS’s fall TV schedule for the 2025-2026 season, one of the first things you’ll notice is that The Eye is losing three of its acronymic TV shows — the network’s trademark TV titling style choice that really kicked into gear with 1995’s JAG and continued with CSI, NCIS, and their legions of spin-offs. Gone are FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, and S.W.A.T., all of which were canceled. But fans of ALL CAPS shouldn’t worry, because CBS is adding three new shows, all with big, capital letters: CIA, DMV, and Y: Marshals. P.H.E.W.!
Two of those shows will be slotted on Mondays, with new comedy DMV following the latest season of The Neighborhood, and CIA following FBI to cap off the evening. DMV stars Harriet Dyer, Tim Meadows, and Tony Cavalero, and is set at a Department of Motor Vehicles office. CIA is a spin-off of FBI, or, if you ask CBS, it’s a “universe expansion of the FBI series,” and stars Lucifer’s Tom Ellis as a reckless CIA agent partnered with a by-the-book FBI agent who is yet to be cast.
With the cancellation of two FBI series, Tuesdays are taken over by a trio of NCIS shows: NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney. Wednesdays feature the familiar pairing of Survivor and The Amazing Race, with game shows and the new true crime series Harlan Coben’s Final Twist taking over in mid-winter. In it, the popular author will present criminal cases with unusual twists. Come spring, Survivor returns for its 50th season, and will be followed by the new reality cooking series America’s Culinary Cup, hosted by Padma Lakshmi.
Thursdays remain unchanged with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Ghosts, Matlock, and Elsbeth, but Friday has a mostly new look — but with familiar faces. Starting the evening at 8/7c is a new drama, the Fire Country spin-off Sheriff Country, starring Morena Baccarin as the keeper of laws in Edgewater, the small California town where Fire Country takes place. (Could Doctor Country be coming next year!?!?) A new season of Fire Country airs at 9/8c, followed by Boston Blue, a spin-off of the canceled Blue Bloods that follows Donnie Wahlberg’s cop Danny Reagan as he moves from the Big Apple to Beantown.
Sundays are once again anchored by Tracker, which enters its third season. In the fall, it will be followed by The Road, a new music competition series produced by Taylor Sheridan. In the spring, Tracker will lead into the new series Y: Marshals (working title), a spin-off of Yellowstone starring Luke Grimes, whose Yellowstone character Kayce Dutton joins the U.S. Marshals in Montana. That will be followed by a new season of Morris Chestnut’s Watson.
