CBS has unveiled its plans for the 2026-2027 broadcast season, confirming the return of ten beloved shows. This significant announcement solidifies the network's lineup, featuring a mix of dramas, comedies, and reality competitions that have garnered strong viewership. The renewals underscore CBS's commitment to delivering a diverse range of engaging content to its audience, ensuring that popular franchises and compelling new narratives will continue to entertain for another year.
Among the programs receiving renewals are notable titles such as 'Tracker,' which has been greenlit for its fourth season, and 'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage,' set to enter its third season. Long-running procedural dramas like 'Matlock' and 'Elsbeth' will also continue with their third and fourth seasons, respectively, while 'Fire Country' heads into its fifth. The highly successful 'NCIS' universe remains a cornerstone of CBS's schedule, with the original 'NCIS' renewed for an impressive 24th season, and its spinoffs, 'NCIS: Origins' and 'NCIS: Sydney,' securing their third and fourth seasons, respectively.
Reality television mainstays are also set to return, with 'Survivor' receiving a renewal for its 51st season even before its 50th season premiere, and 'The Amazing Race' confirmed for its 39th installment. These renewals contribute to a total of 16 series already ordered for the 2026-2027 season, building upon previous pickups like the 'Blue Bloods' spinoff 'Boston Blue,' the 'Fire Country' spinoff 'Sheriff Country,' the Dick Wolf procedural 'FBI,' and the hit comedy 'Ghosts,' which was renewed for its sixth season last year.
Looking ahead, CBS is also developing new content, including the legal drama 'Cupertino,' starring Mike Colter, and the procedural 'Einstein,' featuring Matthew Gray Gubler, which was originally slated for the 2025-2026 season but was postponed. The network has two new comedy pilots in contention: the vampire comedy 'Eternally Yours' and the period comedy 'Regency.' While many shows have secured their futures, the medical drama 'Watson' and the comedy 'DMV' are still awaiting renewal decisions. 'The Neighborhood,' a multi-camera comedy, is scheduled to conclude after its current season, marking the end of its successful run.
The extensive list of renewed series and upcoming projects demonstrates CBS's strategic efforts to maintain its strong programming slate. With a blend of established hits and promising new ventures, the network aims to continue captivating viewers across various genres. The anticipation surrounding these renewals and new additions highlights the dynamic landscape of broadcast television and the ongoing evolution of audience preferences.
