CBS In Fall 2025: Five New Series; Changes On Four Nights
CBS will launch five new primetime series this fall, with five more slated for midseason in 2025-26. CBS
The password is: spinoff.
CBS, the most-watched broadcast network for 17 straight years, has announced its primetime line-up for next fall. Five new series will be featured - comedy DMV; spinoff dramas CIA , Sheriff Country and Boston Blue; and singing competition The Road . Four nights of the schedule will house programming changes (excluding Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday). And at least five new series - dramas Harlan Coben's Final Twist, Y: Marshalls, Einstein and Cupertino; and food competition America's Culinary Cup - will launch in midseason.
Flipping the NCIS and FBI franchises, mothership FBI will move to Monday at 9 p.m. ET into new spinoff CIA at 10 p.m. Earlier in the evening, the eighth, and final, season of The Neighborhood leads in new comedy DMV at 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday is now an evening of NCIS beginning with the granddaddy of the franchise followed by NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney .
While Wednesday is unchanged with 90-minute installments of the competition series Survivor and The Amazing Race , midseason will shift to game shows Hollywood Squares and The Price Is Right at Night from 8-10 p.m. ET, followed by the one-hour mystery anthology Harlan Coben's Final Twist at 10 p.m. ET.
Wednesday in the spring on CBS will feature the 50th edition of granddaddy Survivor followed by new food competition series America's Culinary Cup at 9:30 p.m. and a half-hour edition of Hollywood Squares at 10:30 p.m.
As expected, Friday on CBS will consist of spinoffs Sheriff Country and Boston Blue surrounding Fire Country at 9 p.m. And singing competition entry The Road airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET following returnees 60 Minutes and Tracker (and into drama repeats at 10 p.m. ET). Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshalls , meanwhile, will move into the Sunday 9 p.m. ET hour in midseason into sophomore Watson .
The bottom line:
CBS in 2025-26 will extend its total viewing streak to 18 years. That's a given. Utilizing the strength of its core programs with the new entries, the immediate advantage for the Eye network is the built-in familiarity of dramas CSI , Sheriff Country and Boston Blue . Unlike the streaming services, which dares to different with many of their program entries, CBS recognizes the value of sticking with the tried and true with its older skewing audience.
While The Road and Sunday is an unprecedented move, it is also an interesting counter-programming strategy opposite Sunday Night Football on NBC. And it is the one bold move on its new primetime line-up.
My one gripe: As for a comedy set at the DMV. Do you really want to spend a weekly half-hour in that environment?

New Program Descriptions
Drama
CIA
CIA , starring Tom Ellis, is a one-hour crime drama centered on two unlikely partners – a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (Ellis), and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.
Sheriff Country
Morena Baccarin stars as this Fire Country spinoff as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire's division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of Fire Country ). She investigates criminal activity while she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes (W. Earl Brown), who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter.
Boston Blue
Donnie Wahlberg as he reprises his role as NYPD officer Danny Reagan as he takes a job with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with detective Lena Peters (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.
Harlan Coben's Final Twist - midseason
In each one-hour episode, bestselling authour Harlan will guide audiences through gripping tales of murder, high-profile crimes and life-altering surprises, each meticulously unraveled to reveal hidden truths, deceptions and lies. With exclusive interviews and never-before-seen archival materials, the series will provide an in-depth look at stories where nothing is as it seems.
Y: Marshalls (working title) - midseason
Luke Grimes stars as Kayce Dutton from Yellowstone , who joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence.
Comedy
DMV
This single-camera workplace comedy set at the place everyone dreads going most: the DMV. The logline: Our quirky and lovable characters are making minimum wage, doing a thankless job where customers are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Good thing they have each other.
Non-Scripted
The Road
With access to behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.

Glasser, Lee Metzger and Keith Urban, the docu-follow format trails Keith Urban on his journey to discover the next big artist alongside Gretchen Wilson, who acts as the 'tour manager.'

Dear Abby: My family thinks I'm making up my long-distance boyfriend
DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my mid-20s who has had only abusive, toxic and horrendous relationships after entering adulthood. Since high school, I have spent years trying to find a 'good guy' who will treat me with respect and love me unconditionally. I made a friend online two years ago who I began recording music and podcasts with. He lives in another state. He's smart, witty and sarcastic, and we hit it off well as long-distance friends. I am smitten with him, and he is with me, and we are a 'thing' now. In a few months, he and a mutual friend are flying here to see me and to attend a concert. He says he wants to transfer schools and attend school here. As someone who's been single for three years, I feel ready to love again and be with someone, and my gut instincts and intuition feel safe with him. The only roadblock I'm worried about is my family. They don't believe my relationship is 'real.' They think I'm delusional for being with someone long-distance (even though my mom met my stepdad in a different state). I also don't know how I'll be able to explain this to my grandparents or my very strict, racist dad. How do I respond to people who call me delusional? — SEEMS LIKE THE REAL THING DEAR SEEMS: Although you have known this person for two years, you may be jumping the gun. While he may be everything you say he is (and he says he is), you can't be certain he is really Prince Charming until you meet in person. That he is considering transferring to a nearby school to be closer to you is a good thing. It will give you an opportunity to judge whether he is really the person he presents himself to be and allow your family to get to know him. It will also provide him an opportunity — if the romance continues to develop — to decide if he would welcome them as in-laws, in spite of the racism you so casually mentioned in passing. DEAR ABBY: I know I'll be chastised for having these thoughts, but I need advice. I thought I was supportive to my friend who lost her husband after a four-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. We have known each other for 25 years. She has become unresponsive and no longer asks me about anything. I check on her almost daily, but she never makes the first text. I also send cards, which she does not acknowledge. Her husband died more than a year ago, and I know I shouldn't judge her grieving, but I thought she would be better by this time. Widows ask why their friends desert them after a death, but what about the widows who desert friends? — LONELY IN THE EAST DEAR LONELY: Some individuals are more resilient than others. While you may have been able to get over the loss of a spouse, parent, child or pet quickly, others are not so lucky. The sad fact is, there is no set timetable for grieving. Invite her out to lunch so you can talk face to face instead of relying on cards and texts. If you do, it may help her to recover more quickly. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Joe Jonas Reveals Why the Jonas Brothers' Upcoming Tour Will Be ‘Different' from Their Others (Exclusive)
Joe Jonas told PEOPLE why the Jonas Brothers' upcoming tour will be 'different' from their previous tours He and siblings Nick and Kevin Jonas will kick off the Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour on Aug. 10 in New Jersey The tour marks the band's 20th anniversary and is tied to their seventh studio album, Greetings from Your HometownJoe Jonas is teasing something big! The 35-year-old musician told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that the Jonas Brothers' upcoming tour will deliver something completely "different" for fans than the band's past tours. Joe and siblings Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas are set to kick off the Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour on Aug. 10 at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey. "I think what fans can expect is that we are going to do what we can to give them the best show they can possibly enjoy every night. Really have a fun time on the road, enjoy the fact that we get to do this after all these years and just try to bring something different," Joe tells PEOPLE of the tour, which celebrates the group's 20th anniversary. The tour, which runs until November, will also be in support of the Jonas Brothers' upcoming seventh studio album, Greetings from Your Hometown, out on Aug. 8. "We did a big tour last year or two years ago, it bled into the last year, but I think what we've really realized is that we wanted to bring a show for the audience that they felt like was something different from what they've experienced before," he continues, noting that the plan was to give fans a chance to offer input. "We're going to build a show with our audience, so we're rehearsing pretty much onstage and playing some of these older songs that we haven't played in so many years and see how they respond and what they want to hear," he explains. As the setlist is still taking shape, Joe — who serves as an ambassador for Scotch & Soda and has a collaboration collection with the fashion brand — says he and his brothers are also still ironing out their onstage wardrobes for a tour that will get underway in the heat of summer. "We're in the middle of figuring out what we're going to wear, but we never really dress according to the weather. The stadiums outside, it's like you don't even... I think it's going to be important because we're going to be sweating through those outfits really fast," Joe tells PEOPLE. "Not much leather — there won't be a lot of leather being worn," he predicts. "I mean, you know, fashion can hurt, but that's one choice that we will avoid." Reflecting on the 20-year milestone, Joe says it's a privilege and a thrill to still be doing what he loves, two decades later. "Twenty years in now, still being able to do what we love for a living and have so many supportive fans and people that show up for these shows and listen to our new music and stuff, it's why it keeps us doing what we do," he explains. "I wake up every morning, [and] I'm ready. I get to do what I love for a living, so I'm happy to keep it going." Kevin, 37, also opened up about the emotional milestone in a separate exclusive interview with PEOPLE in May. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'It's just wild to think that we've been a part of people's lives for this long, but I think what's really cool is that it's still continuing to be new," he said at the time, promising a tour setlist that will mix both oldies and top hits. "We're constantly talking about the setlist, which is always a thing for us,' Kevin noted. 'We've been building out the show conceptually and what we wanted it to feel and look like. It's gonna be really special. You know, it's 20 years of the band, but really it's just about us going back on the road to celebrate how many people have been with us for so long, and the fans that have been made this journey possible.'
