CBS Fall 2025 TV: Everything You Need to Know
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.)

Not sure I will continue to watch CBS shows as it seems all they want to do is cancel existing shows regardless of how well they are doing. No wonder people are moving away from traditional "broadcast" networks to streaming services (not that they always better).

I couldn't agree more. They've done many times before. For where I live I have to depend on streaming because no signal for regular TV. But streaming don't release the day of but the day the show is aired.

It's usually available within 24 to 48 hours, often without commercials. Not difficult to adjust your viewing time.

Don't know what you are thinking cancelling fbi international, fbi most wanted and swat. They are much better than the ones you are keeping.

Not happy about losing Most Wanted. Int'l was hard to watch because you couldn't understand what they were saying most of the time, with the accents!

FBI & FBI Int’l are my most fav shows. Ending Bluebloods was a mistake. It’s one of the best well written shows on tv.

A mistake canceling Titus Welliver with Equalizer. It's time the story line get back to more of the CIA history and current stories for future. A bit too much on family issues. While I think "Aunty" and her daughter are key roles we need more of the action. What a better way than with Titus Welliver.

I am really upset about S.W.A.T.T. and the Equalizer, FBI INTERNATIONAL, and FBI MOST WANTED as well!!!!! Why? I'm not going to watch CBS anymore!!!!! I Stream anyway!!!!! I hope you lose a lot of people!!!!!

Not happy about losing FBI International. Didn't care for FBI Most Wanted because of the lead actor, or at least how the role was was written. Too much over the top.

You have canceled almost all the good shows these new ones are not as good not interesting at all

CBS sucks! Who ever schedules needs fired. Canceling SWAT, FBI International and FBI Most Wanted is the stupidous move possible. Many people relate to the story lines of these shows, what a shame. I'm switching to NBC.

Why do they take off some of the good shows I enjoyed watching
To put crap on

CBS is doing a fantastic job of killing itself in a death spiral of stupid decisions. If they wish to do so, ok. There are too many other options and choices to care anymore. CBS can become irrelevant and slither to the background. Streaming services offer plenty of choices and are available on demand.

CBS NEEDS to get rid of ghost , that show is sooo stupid . Keep Poppas house , fbi international. I use to like CBS , but they keep taking away all the good shows .

First Blue Bloods, which I personally will never forgive for the cancelation of the most popular show on Friday nights. Now you're canceling some of the FBI lineup on Tuesday night. What are you people thinking, are you trying to crash and burn or are you just stupid. These shows were locked and Loaded, with a Hugh audience following. Dick Wolf what is the real reason for sabotaging greatness, where zero changes were needed. Just assinan...period!!!

In regard to Blue Bloods, Tom Selleck was ready to retire.
After all, he’s 80 years old. I’d want to retire too !!! I live the 3- FBI- shows but I read where FBI-International is filmed on location and it got to where it was just too expensive. A lot of people didn’t want to leave their families that long and maintain 2- residences.

Tuesday night was their best night with the FBI’s until last week on international when they had to have girl e kissing girl it was the best night of TV. Why is international being canceled?

I am so angry with CBS!!! First with Blue Bloods, then with Tuesday FBI night. If they cancel the Equalizer, that will be the last straw for me. My Tuesday nights will be dedicated to ABC and NBC! I still watch the original NCIS on Monday night, but that's all for CBS. There are just so many other great shows, especially on Netflix and even Hallmark, which I love. The problem with CBS is they just don't care about their viewers.

I'm sorry to hear about FBI International and Most Wanted being canceled. The original FBI is too boring. There's too many scenes in the 'office'. International has different venues aka European cities. Most Wanted also has scenes throughout the country. Boo on CBS

We have our lovely president to thank for the cancellations on CBS. Anyone that makes him angry everyone pays the price.

Survivor, great race, Elzbeth, Matlock, Watson are lousy, FBI international?? Why cancel that great show??
Reality cooking show nonsense
Looking forward to checking out cia and dmv

I’m not happy about the cancellation of FBI International, FBI Most wanted, nor the Equalizer. Come on CBS, what are you thinking? These are among the most popular shows.
-
B
CBS canceled the two best FBI series. Most wanted and FBI International. Guess I'll watch another channel or movie. Tuesday night was my FBI night.
-
G
Why watch CBS any more? They keep cancelling my shows. I won’t watch any new CBS shows.
-
R
Why was SWAT cancelled?
-
O
I agree with most of the people here. SWAT great one! FBI Most wanted also great. Equalizer another great one. I enjoyed the FBI night. I even watched them live. It's to the point, there's not much left to watch. Whether its CBS, NBC or ABC. And I only watched CBS........
-
B
I am not happy cbs canceled FBI : international and FBI:most wanted. Very disappointing 😞
-
O
And it seems FBI was kept with the main characters being less diverse…FBI International and FBI Most Wanted had two main diverse characters….just an interesting observation..
-
G
FBI WAS THE BEST OF ALL 3. The cast great. Interesting, suspense,
-
P
CBS doesn't care about what the ppl want they have been going down hill for a cpl yrs.All the FBI shows r my favorite and Swat was a #1 .Ghost is Not evan worth turning the TV on RIDICULOUS.TIME TO MOVE ON ....

CBS has more commercials than show time. I'm sick of it and can't stand to try to watch 1 scene then 4-5 minutes of commercials. Get the hint CBS, YOU ARE cutting your own throats here.

Cannot believe they cancelled through FBI shows but kept Tracker and Watson. Even their commercials are boring.

You renewed some of the worst shows yet canceled some of the best if it was up to me I would definitely fire all who made these decisions

Why do they keep these trashy reality shows like Survivor which shows humanity at its lowest level? Most of the shows I like are being cancelled. Perhaps it is time to move on.

If they dumped all those “reality” tv shows they might have more viewers too !!! Survivor, The Amazing Race, Hollywood Squares- nobody wants to watch that crap!

The Equalizer has to go. Queen Latifah as the equalizer defies logic. Just ridiculous. The FBI Most Wanted lead actor was a goof. He ran like a girl. He was not a believable character.
