CBS Announces Full Winter 2026 Lineup: New Series, Returning Favorites & Event Programming
CBS has unveiled its 2026 midseason primetime schedule, bringing a mix of new and returning scripted dramas and franchise expansions.
The lineup introduces four new series, Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, Dick Wolf’s CIA, Taylor Sheridan’s Y: Marshals, and Padma Lakshmi’s America’s Culinary Cup, alongside returning hits and a landmark celebration for Survivor, which reaches its 50th season with a special two-week encore event.
The schedule also highlights the return of established favorites across drama, comedy, and unscripted formats, all streaming live and on demand on Paramount+.
Note: CBS has delayed the midseason returns of NCIS, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney due to the State of the Union address. Originally scheduled the premiere on February 24, 2026, all three shows will now premiere on March 3, 2026. This update is reflected in the calendar below.
