Fall 2025 TV Schedule: Your Guide to the Complete Lineup
As the current broadcast season wraps up, networks are already looking ahead to the fall.
What won’t change for the 2025-2026 season: There are dramas, comedies, animated series, and unscripted shows filling the time slots. CBS even has a couple shows set for 2026-2027, including the new Einstein, starring Matthew Gray Gubler. On CBS, there are a couple changes: NCIS is moving back to its original time slot, Tuesdays at 8/7c, to be followed by spinoffs NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney, for an all-NCIS night. FBI is moving to Mondays at 9/8c (NCIS‘s old spot), and Watson is airing after it with CIA moving to the midseason. Blue Bloods‘ offshoot Boston Blue, with Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as Danny Reagan, is taking the long-running series’ old time slot, Fridays at 10/9c, and joining it and Fire Country that night is the latter’s spinoff, Sheriff Country.
NBC is moving The Hunting Party to Thursdays to join Law & Order and SVU, and it has space in its schedule for quite a bit of basketball, which means that while there will be two nights of The Voice in September, it will only air on Mondays in October.
Over on Fox, there will only be two nights of scripted television in the fall: Tuesdays, with Murder in a Small Town and Doc, and Sundays, with Animation Domination. The rest of the lineup consists of unscripted shows, including game shows and reality competitions.
ABC isn’t changing much, but 9-1-1 is being joined by its spinoff, Nashville, on Thursdays. Grey’s Anatomy will continue to air at 10/9c that night. Shark Tank‘s move to Wednesdays (from Fridays) is one of the most surprising changes of the fall schedule.

I remember when there were multiple shows I wanted to watch almost every night. Now it's down to four all week, not even one per day! Non-"Reality" shows, sports, and uninspired variations on the same old themes make it easy to stop watching TV and do other things instead.

Primetime television has been completely unwatchable for years now. If it wasn’t for football, I wouldn't watch anything on network tv anymore.

There is nothing left to watch on TV. All of the fake reality junk is disgusting. Every year good entertains shows are dropped from that reality and game show junk. Why not stream that junk and bring back quality drama and comedy programs. Guess we are being forced to pay for streaming services to get decent shows!

Getting to be fewer and fewer shows I will watch. Now there are 11 shows on CBS, 1 on NBC, 1 on ABC and 1 on FOX that I will watch this fall. Thank you CBS for suppling more good shows and shame on the others for doing more and more reality shows which I absolutely refuse to watch.

I don't think they have good writers anymore and this is why we lose so many TV series. FBI and FBI most wanted I really like that international the characters just did not flow I don't know if it was the cast or what but when they put it in between they wrote most wanted because most people just turn the channel and not turn it back which is a shame for FBI most wanted because they were great

I am so happy that most of my favorite shows will be returning. I will miss the Equalizer. I loved that show and looked forward to it every Sunday night!

As an aspiring writer, it’s frustrating to see how local networks are treating original shows lately. You know what’s messed up? We went about 20–25 years without NBA on NBC after the Jordan era. Now that NBC is bringing basketball back, they shouldn’t have picked up all these TV shows just to cancel them. If they weren’t going to commit, they should’ve let other networks continue the series instead of killing them off like they didn’t matter.
As for CBS canceling shows that were actually doing well—stuff like that might make creators like me think twice about working with these local networks. I get it, local channels like CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, and CW are free, and not everyone has cable. But honestly, local TV feels so limited now. Sometimes I wish they’d kept networks like UPN or PAX—back when there were more options.
It’d be nice if NBC brought back Sunday Night Movies. I looked up Gary Coleman’s old TV movies that aired on NBC—stuff from before I was even born—and now it’s like Lifetime took over that space. Even Disney Channel used to drop one original movie every month in the 2000s. I miss that.
And I wouldn’t mind pitching my own shows or movies to networks like Hallmark, Paramount+, or Disney. But definitely not to these local channels if they’re just going to cancel everything. I don’t want to pour my heart into a project only to see it axed after one or two seasons—no thanks. I need a guarantee on episodes and seasons upfront, so I can deliver a proper ending.

I just canceled my cable,and put up an antenna for local channels. 8 shows on CBS, 1 on ABC, none on NBC, none on Fox. Not worth cable prices for not many shows, and I can get those for free. Thank goodness for CBS having some shows I like. Hurrah for Netflix, and Amazon Prime. This unreality stuff is just plane boring and annoying with all the bickering and back stabbing.

Hey, if you're looking for something neat and unique to read, might I suggest Doc Ephraim Bates four book "Boom!!...Killers." series. A comedic, action thriller that has some of the best dialog between original characters than any book has offered in years. The Boom!!...Killers. series is available on any site where you buy books.

I think they cancelled all the wrong shows is what I think

NCIS, Matlock, Brilliant Minds, the three Chicago shows and Tracker is all I will watch. TV certainly isn’t what it used to be. I’m glad there are sports.
