CBS 2024-2025 Schedule: ‘Young Sheldon' Spinoff Opens Thursday Night Lineup, ‘Tracker' Gets Earlier Timeslot on Sundays
CBS announced not only its fall schedule, but a full lineup for the 2024-2025 broadcast season at a Los Angeles press briefing on Thursday.
Among the networks new shows premiering in the fall is Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr.’s “Poppa’s House,” which will air at 8:30 p.m. on Mondays after “The Neighborhood.” Next, “NCIS” holds onto its 9 p.m. timeslot. After the cancellation of “NCIS: Hawai’i,” it’s 9:30 p.m. position will be taken over by the franchise’s newest iteration, “NCIS: Origins.”
Tuesdays remain “FBI” night, with the flagship series airing at 8 p.m. followed by “FBI: International” at 9p.m. and “FBI: Most Wanted” at 10 p.m.
The Wednesday schedule continues to be dominated by unscripted programming but will vary throughout the season, with a separate January lineup to bridge the gap between fall and spring seasons. In both the fall and the spring, “Survivor” will continue airing 90-minute episodes beginning at 8 p.m. Though “The Amazing Race” typically runs directly afterward, it will skip the fall and return for a new season at 9:30 in the spring. In the fall, the new competition series “The Summit” will take its place.
In between those two segments of the schedule, Wednesdays in January will open with “The Price Is Right at Night” at 8 p.m. “Raid the Cage” will air at 9 p.m., with a reboot of the game show “Hollywood Squares” hosted by Drew Barrymore at 10 p.m.
Thursdays continue to open with comedies. Following the end of “Young Sheldon,” which airs its season finale this month, the first season of spinoff series “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” will air at 8 p.m. and lead into “Ghosts” at 8:30 p.m. CBS’ “Matlock” reboot will debut at 9 p.m., leading into “Elsbeth” at 10 p.m.
Like Wednesdays, Fridays will differ between fall and spring. In the fall, “S.W.A.T.” will return for its eighth season at 8 p.m. followed by “Fire Country” at 9 p.m. and the second part of the final season of “Blue Bloods” at 9 p.m. The spring will instead be opened by “NCIS: Sydney,” with “Fire Country” remaining at 9 p.m. and “S.W.A.T.” moving to 10 p.m.
On Saturdays, CBS will run various encores of its programming for two hours beginning at 8 p.m. The news program “48 hours” will air at 10 p.m.
“60 Minutes” will continue to anchor the Sunday 7 p.m. timeslot, while “Tracker” airs right behind it, moving up from its previous 9 p.m. position. Instead, “The Equalizer” will run at 9 p.m., leading into the new medical drama “Watson.”
