Which CBS Shows Still Haven’t Been Renewed?
What To Know
- As CBS continues to renew series for the 2026-2027 season, there are some whose fates are still up in the air.
- Here’s a look at the ratings for those shows.
CBS is getting its lineup together for the 2026-2027 season, and that includes another renewal on March 23. However, there are still nine shows from the network that have yet to be renewed (or canceled).
CIA (Season 2) has joined the other renewed series for the 2026-2027 season, which includes: The Amazing Race (Season 39), Boston Blue (Season 2), Elsbeth (Season 4), FBI (Season 9), Fire Country (Season 5), George & Mandy’s First Marriage (Season 3), Ghosts (Season 6), Marshals (Season 2), Matlock (Season 3), NCIS (Season 24), NCIS: Origins (Season 3), NCIS: Sydney (Season 4), Sheriff Country (Season 2), Survivor (Season 51), and Tracker (Season 4).
Joining the CBS lineup in the 2026-2027 season are new series Cupertino, from Robert and Michelle King and reuniting them with Mike Colter, and Einstein, bringing Matthew Gray Gubler back to the network after his 15 seasons on Criminal Minds.
The Neighborhood is ending with its current eighth season.
That leaves the fates of nine of CBS’s shows still up in the air: 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, America’s Culinary Cup, Big Brother, DMV, Harlan Coben‘s Final Twist, Hollywood Squares, The Road, and Watson.
There’s not necessarily reason to worry just yet. It is still March, though CBS is announcing its 2026-2027 schedule on April 15, so that means that these shows’ fates will all likely be determined by then.
Comparing the scripted shows — DMV and Watson — to the rest of CBS’s, the comedy is in a better position (ninth in the key demo among adults 18-49) than the drama (which is second to last, only ahead of NCIS: Sydney). But the two are pretty close among total viewers, with DMV 15th and Watson last, with Sydney between them.
As for the unscripted fare, the last three in the key demo are Hollywood Squares, Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, and 48 Hours, while in viewers, the last three are Hollywood Squares, 49 Hours, and America’s Culinary Cup.

Hoping they keep Watson. As for the rest, 60 minutes has been a mainstay for years. But....things are different for CBS in today's political climate. Unfortunately, things that have precedent, have been iconic or are grounded in traditional values are on shaky ground.

The rest of my favorites got picked up already. The only one I care about now is Watson. The 2nd season did lag a bit, like the writers were rushed or gave up because they knew it was scoring low. A lot of shows 2nd season sucks but hits its stride by season 3. Come on Watson need me some Morris Chestnut on the regular.

Considering that Trump has CBS in his back pocket, more than likely 60 minutes is on very shaky ground. Trump wants the end of free and honest press. CBS Is following his lead.

You mean the democrats right?

No, the right wing radicals are buying news outlets and then making the reporters rewrite their copy. They are crushing the first amendment.

DMV isn't funny at all. didn't even get past 10 mins of the 1st episode

Yes.

I agree! Its terrible and so are the actors! Just plain dumb show!!

Cancel NCIS: Sydney and keep Watson. Have not watched Sydney since the 2nd episode because it was terrible. Shame they cancelled NCIS: Hawaii for such a terrible show.
36
-
N
Sometimes there is no rationale, particularly in the case of the NCIS's. Sydney in, and, Hawaii out? Doesn't make a lot of sense, especially with stiff performing actors in the latter.

I’m concerned on whether or not Harlan Coben’s Final Twist and Watson will be renewed. I enjoy both shows very much.

I enjoy Harlan Cobin’s Final Twist & 48 Hours, whether live or recorded.

I really like Watson! It’s so interesting! Great cast and chemistry

Love Watson and Culinary Cup. Get rid of Hollywood Squares, it is only to get recognition for the people in the squares, especially Drew Barrymore. She is over acting and terrible at trying to be a comedian.

I love the show atson. Please renew

I enjoy Watson and 60 Minutes. Sometimes if nothing else interesting to me I will listen to Hollywood Squares but not to often. HS mostly bores me.

I watch a lot of TV, but I do not watch any of the 9 on the fence except 60 Min. As a news junkie, I depend on their investigative segments and point of view. It is iconic and needs to be continued for Freedom of the Press!

It would be pretty cool if another network picked it up keeping the format and storytelling it’s known for.

used to be good, every one leaving… fake news

Not fake news; they are trying to resist being censored because they are not biased. Last of the REAL Truth Tellers. Once it's gone we'll all be at the mercy of, not just fake news, but a fake world.

Keep Watson!!!!!

I’m hoping Watson gets picked up I really enjoy that show.

I think they need to keep 60 minutes it's real journalism not lies. If they take it off the air we are now communism when the dictator tells everyone what to say and what not to say.
8
-
G
Future episodes may be lies, since the owner of CBS (Larry Ellison) is good buddies with Trump. Trump will probably have to approve the consent of 60 Minutes.

60 minutes has been a liberal biased show for years. No fact out of its mouth any more. It deserves to be done.

DMV is one of best new comedies on TV! All you boomers hating in the comments were the same ones that just wanted Ross to be with Rachel and didn't understand the concept of The Office.

I love DMV! But you got your generations mixed up, Friends is a Gen X show! So dont say boomer for every generation that's probably older than you. I'm generation x - I loved friends and I love dmv.

I'm a boomer who loved The Office and also loves DMV!

Watson is smart and intriguing.
Keep it!

I love Watson, 48 hours, Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, 60 minutes and The Hollywood Squares. I love Morris Chestnut. He deserves a 3rd season. The show is very dynamic.

C
DMV is hilarious! I wish more viewers would stay with it. The situations they get themselves into are too funny.

C
CBS intentionally set up Watson to fail with multiple changes on the days and times it aired. Should have kept it in the original slot as it did very well there. Shame on you CBS! It's blatantly obvious what's going on.

N
I agree.

M
Dmv can be cancelled.

D
Can anyone explain CIA ? It makes no sense ? Does it mean somehow the CIA approves any tactics to solve issues ?
5
-
J
It does not mean anything, because the show's creators and producers make up their own 'rules' for the sake of the show. What viewers see isn't necessarily how things work-- on this or any other show.
6
-
J
Yea I have tried a few times to get into CIA and I can't... I miss the other FBIs 😔

N
It was supposed to be a spinoff of FBI, don’t know the status on that. Someone did FBI Int & Most Wanted dirty.

I definitely think they should keep 60 Minutes and 48 Hours.
My other favorites of Matlock, Elsbeth, and Sheriff's Country are already safe!

I hope Watson stays. I really enjoy that show. DMV should be canceled. It is very stupid and no way reflects real situations.

If 60 minutes goes, so does any credibility left in the CBS news division

I think 48 Hours and 60 Minutes are givens. I still miss FBI Most Wanted and International as well as NCIS Hawaii.

Hope Hollywood Squares gets renewed. So glad Boston Blue & Georgie & Mandy's wedding are coming for another season

Sadly, like "So Help Me Todd, "Watson seems to suffer a similar fate.

I love 60 Minutes, they bring us amazing personal interviews. They also cover the globe with extremely interesting stories that are throughly researched. 60 Minutes has always been very interesting, informative, entertaining and educational.

I remember watching 60 Minutes with my grandparents and now I am my grandparents. I look forward to 60 Minutes every Sunday. I'd be devastated if it's not renewed.

DMV is a fun, smart show. A, good laugh. Watson is interesting and Harlan Cohen's show fulfills my need for true crime and mystery stories.

O
DMV is really stupid. Not funny at all. Nix it. Keep 60 Minutes please

I want Watson to be renewed. Awesome show. It is an absolute travesty that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was canceled because the Trump administration can't stand the truth.

60 minutes should be renewed.

48 hrs, YES. 60 minutes, YES. Big Brother, YES. The Road, YES. Hollywood Squares, YES. I ❤️ these shows.

Honestly, half the shows they kept (fire and sheriff country, CIA, Ghosts, NCIS Sydney and Origins, Survivor and Amazing Race need to go away and stay away forever. DMV sucks and Watson is a snooze (sorry Morris Chestnut). America's Culinary Cup should be on Food Network where it belongs, and aside from 60 minutes, the rest of the shows that could be on the chopping block can go away too.

G
My Price is right had better return.
-
L
American Culinary Cup. Please renew!!!
-
C
DMV, Watson and Elsbeth are thee worst shows I have ever seen on CBS; and the new offering CIA is closing in on that title also! Whoever came up with the Culinary show should be fired - maybe a better place for it would be the Food Network.
-
S
Please keep Watson and 60 minutes. Why was NCIS: Sydney a thing when Hawaii, LA, and New Orleans were so much better?
-
C
Look at everybody loving Watson!! Me too!! I would also like to see Harlan Corben's Final Twist renewed, great mystery!
You can cancel 60 Minutes, maybe then shows will start on time!!
-
A
Keep Watson, 60 Minutes and 48 Hours! Too many NCIS!
-
L
I hope they keep Watson. It really is a great show and can be a nail biter as the doctors find best medical practices to use on their patients. I would like for DMV to get another season to help develop the characters more. It would be fun to see more driving test episodes than in office .
-
A
Watson sucks. I only like the blonde girl and the twins.And I forgot his name , the old guy. Fin something……
-
K
Keep Watson Please!
-
G
I would like Watson, Hollywood squares, and 60 minutes to be renewed.
-
J
Most of it is garbage anyway.
-
M
I watch Watson and DMV. Hope they return.
-
G
Watson is the only one I care about. I hope the lead in from Tracker helps it.
-
R
I didn't like it when they removed NCIS Hawaii and just left FBI on. I liked the other 2 FBIs better.
-
G
I'm hoping they renew Watson. I could do without the Matlock, Ghosts, Georgie & Mandy's first marriage and any of the Reality shows. I want to be entertained when watching TV.
-
J
I really hope 60 min gets renewed, it's an icon. Love Watson and would be sad to see it go. Like DMV it should try another season
-
K
Love Watson. I really hope they continue. Great cast and wonderful story lines. Love the Sherlock Holmes aspect of it too.

Keep Watson!!!

Keep Watson, love that show

Cancel Watson. Elsbeth, & Matlock. Horrible shows.
-
G
I only watch the Soaps and 48 Hours the rest of the programming sucks! CBS news is the worst...the unnecessary news bulletins are annoying!
-
G
Watson is a great show and I really hope they renew it. DMV as well. I'm happy to see other faves of mine being renewed. Yay
-
J
I love Watson, hope it renews! Not a fan of DMV, not really funny.
-
J
I love Watson, so definitely hoping it gets renewed. Also DMV. Of the ones they're keeping I could do without Elsbeth, she is nerve-wracking. Most of the others, I agree they are keepers.
-
D
Keep Watson. There's to much brainless other things on TV. Keep us thinking .
-
C
Neighborhood is the funniest sit com on TV!!! Why is it being cancelled???
-
T
It is not cancelled. It is ending it's run.

Hope they keep Watson.

G
Please keep Watson!!! 🙏

The only one I care about is Watson. All my other frequently watched shows have been renewed already.
-
N
If we hadn't lost CBS due to contract dispute I would be watching. Hope they don't get rid of it
-
M
NCIS Origins is not exactly my fave, but who in the HELL came up with that God-awful theme song? A pox on the lot of them!
-
S
Says a lot about America when 60 Minutes & 48 Hours are in limbo but by golly Elsbeth, Matlock, George & Mandy’s First Marriage & Ghosts will be renewed.
Really???!!!!!! 😳
