When ‘NCIS,’ ‘FBI,’ ‘Young Sheldon,’ ‘Blue Bloods’ & More Will Return to CBS

Just five days after the actors’ strike ended, CBS has unveiled its post-strike plan — and it was one of the first to do so. The network announced its winter programming for returning and new scripted TV shows, including NCIS, FBI, Blue Bloods, Young Sheldon and more, after the now-resolved Hollywood strikes delayed production for months.

The 2024 schedule — which is nearly identical to CBS’ original slate revealed back in May — kicks off after the Super Bowl and follows with a week of premieres for NCIS, the FBIs and Blue Bloods. However, the biggest changes are that Matlock and Poppa’s House will be moved to the 2024-25 season. Also, Survivor and The Amazing Race will debut later to ensure continuous airing of episodes through May.

Justin Hartley’s new drama Tracker is still slated to premiere after the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 (that same episode will also air on Feb. 15), while episode 2 will follow on Feb. 18 in the show’s regular time slot. CBS’ only other new scripted series, Elsbeth — a spinoff of The Good Wife/The Good Fight — will debut on Feb. 29.

The revised schedule comes just days after the actors’ union reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios to end the nearly four-month strike that halted the work of thousands of entertainment workers and delayed numerous TV and film projects. After gaining the board’s approval on Nov. 10, the 160,000-member actors guild are slated to vote to ratify the new agreement on Tuesday.

Shows are expected to have between 10 – 13 episodes per season. Production is expected to ramp up at the end of November/early December.

This fall, CBS prioritized strike-proof programming by airing the broadcast debut Yellowstone, showing “classic” episodes of Blue Bloods and the return of SEAL Team and focusing on its reality shows Survivor and The Amazing Race.
