It may be the middle of summer, but CBS is already gearing up for the fall and the returns and premieres of its primetime lineup.

Officially, CBS Premiere Week begins on Sunday, October 12, with sneak peeks of Matlock and Elsbeth on a special day, then seven straight nights of original episodes of new and returning shows. That includes Watson joining FBI on Mondays (with CIA now moving to midseason, the Morris Chestnut-led series is returning earlier than originally planned), the now all NCIS night on Tuesdays, and Fire Country and its spinoff Sheriff Country as well as the Blue Bloods expansion series Boston Blue on Fridays

In September, CBS will be airing the 2025 Video Music Awards (for the first time), the Emmys, and other events, plus a new special.

In addition to CIA, CBS’ midseason lineup will include Y: Marshals, Hollywood Squares, Harlan Coben‘s Final Twist, and America’s Culinary Cup.
