Ghosts Lands 2-Season Pickup
CBS is locking in a large portion of its primetime slate for the 2025-26 season — and, in one case, 2026-27 as well.
The network has renewed nine series, including a two-season order for its comedy Ghosts. The pickup will take the show through its sixth season in 2026-27. CBS has also renewed all three NCIS series — the original, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney — along with Elsbeth, Fire Country, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Hollywood Squares and Tracker for 2025-26.
“This season, our new and returning series continue to showcase CBS as the leader in launching and programming the biggest hits with mass appeal for broadcast and streaming viewers,” said CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach in a statement. “These returning shows represent a mix of long-standing hits and a new generation of fan favorites. In collaboration with our extraordinarily talented partners in front of and behind the camera, we look forward to delivering another successful season.”
The nine pickups join previous renewals Matlock and FBI, which is in the midst of a multiseason order that runs through 2026-27. Unscripted stalwarts Survivor and The Amazing Race are also set for next season, along with new series Sheriff Country, Boston Blue — with Donnie Wahlberg reprising his Blue Bloods role — and music competition The Road.
Six of the renewed series — Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Elsbeth, Ghosts, Fire Country and NCIS — are averaging more than 10 million crossplatform viewers this season (with 35 days of viewing).
