We are a little over two months from the start of the Fall season on broadcast TV, and today, CBS announced when their shows will air their season premieres.
However, there is a big change. The FBI spinoff starring Tom Ellis is moving from the Fall to midseason. According to Deadline, the reason is that Showrunner David Hudgins has exited the series and Warren Leight will be replacing him. Therefore, they need time to adjust to the changes.
So, what is replacing CIA? Watson, which proved to be a hit last midseason, will now debut on Mondays in the Fall, instead of being held for 2026. Something I always thought should be the case.
