CBS has revealed the full details of its fall 2025-2026 schedule, including premiere dates and other details.
Several of its hit series were already renewed ahead of their current seasons’ finales and are now expected to return sometime in or after September. Plus, there are a few series that won’t be returning to your screens this fall — including a few jaw-dropping cancellations — as well as some new series that will be joining the mix.
Here’s what we know about CBS’s fall 2025-2026 TV plans.
Renewed CBS Shows
Before its upfronts presentation on May 7, CBS had already given renewals for 48 Hours Season 37, The Amazing Race Season 38, Elsbeth Season 3, FBI Seasons 8 and 9, Fire Country Season 4, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Season 2, Ghosts Seasons 5 and 6, Hollywood Squares Season 2, Matlock Season 2, NCIS Season 23, NCIS: Origins Season 2, NCIS: Sydney Season 3, The Neighborhood Season 8 (final season), Survivor Seasons 49 and 50, Tracker Season 3, and Watson Season 2.
CBS subsequently renewed 60 Minutes for Season 58 amid turmoil with Donald Trump and a major leadership shakeup.
Canceled CBS Shows
Shows that won’t be returning for this year’s fall schedule include FBI spinoffs FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, which were shockingly canceled by the network. Plus, the network will say goodbye (again) to S.W.A.T., and Poppa’s House was not renewed for a second season after its series debut last year. Reality competition series The Summit will also not return for a second season. The last show that was on the network’s bubble was The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah, which was canceled ahead of its finale.
CBS Shows That Haven’t Been Canceled or Renewed Yet
There are no longer any shows on the bubble at CBS.
New CBS Shows
There are several new shows joining the network’s fall 2025 lineup:
America’s Culinary Cup (midseason) is a new cooking competition series starring former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi, which will air after Survivor in the spring.
Boston Blue is a spinoff of Blue Bloods that centers on Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan as he takes a position with the Boston Police Department and is paired with Lena Peters, the daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.
CIA is a Tom Ellis-led offshoot of FBI that was greenlit by the network, despite the cancellation of two other spinoffs.
DMV is a single-camera workplace comedy from Dana Klein and is based on a short story by Katherine Heiny. The show stars Harriet Dyer, Tim Meadows, Molly Kearney, Alex Tarrant, Tony Cavalero, and Gigi Zumbado.
Harlan Coben’s Final Twist (midseason) is a new true-crime series from the bestselling author.
The Road is a new singing competition series headlined by Keith Urban and executive-produced by Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, Lee Metzger, and David Glasser. Urban will perform his hits, and the contestants will serve as his opening acts, with audience members choosing who’ll continue with Urban’s road tour.
Sheriff Country, a spinoff of Fire Country, features Morena Baccarin in the lead as Sheriff Mickey Fox, who investigates crimes in Edgewater. W. Earl Brown, Christopher Gorham, and Michele Weaver also star.
Y: Marshals (working title, midseason) is a new spinoff of Yellowstone featuring Luke Grimes returning as Kayce Dutton.
(The Equalizer spinoff that would’ve featured Titus Welliver was not picked up by the network, and another rumored spinoff of The Neighborhood was canned by the network as well. Meanwhile, Einstein, a drama series starring Matthew Gray Gubler in the title role alongside Rosa Salazar was pushed to 2026-2027 season. And Cupertino, from Robert and Michelle King, was also ordered for the next season for 12 episodes.)
