Thu May 08 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## CBS Unveils Bold 2025-2026 Primetime Lineup with “Super Tuesday” and Yellowstone Expansion
**Los Angeles, CA** – CBS announced its ambitious 2025-2026 television schedule at a press briefing Wednesday, featuring a mix of returning favorites and eight new series. The network is betting big on franchise power, creating “Super Tuesday” with a three-hour block of *NCIS* programming, including the return of the original series to its 8 p.m. timeslot, followed by *NCIS: Origins* and *NCIS: Sydney*. Similarly, Fridays will see a triple-header of Jerry Bruckheimer productions, beginning with the new *Fire Country* spinoff, *Sheriff Country*, and concluding with the *Blue Bloods* spinoff, *Boston Blue* (working title), which will star Sonequa Martin-Green.
Other key programming shifts include the return of *The Amazing Race* following *Survivor* on Wednesdays, with the latter’s 50th season leading into a new Padma Lakshmi cooking competition, *America’s Culinary Cup*, in the spring. CBS is also leveraging the success of *Tracker* by pairing it with two new Taylor Sheridan series: *The Road*, a country music competition series with Blake Shelton, in the fall, and the *Yellowstone* spinoff *Y: Marshals*, starring Luke Grimes, in the spring. This marks the first *Yellowstone* universe series to air on broadcast television.
New series additions include the workplace comedy *DMV*, a new *FBI* spinoff titled *CIA*, and a Harlan Coben-hosted true crime series launching in January. Thursdays and Saturdays will maintain their current programming. The full schedule is available online. The strategic scheduling moves signal CBS’s confidence in its returning franchises and its commitment to attracting new viewers with high-profile additions.
