Winter is coming, but CBS is bringing the heat! Two big shows premiere on the network in the early months of 2026, including Survivor 50, the big Survivor bash celebrating the 50th season of the influential reality series, and Y: Marshals, a spin-off of Yellowstone starring Luke Grimes. Other new series premiering this winter include the FBI spin-off CIA, the true crime series Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, and the cooking competition America’s Culinary Cup.
However, most of CBS’s programming isn’t returning until late February, which is in stark contrast to the early January returns for primetime shows on ABC and NBC. CBS gets back to its regular schedule beginning Monday, Feb. 23, with The Neighborhood, DMV, FBI, and the series premiere of CIA. That week is capped off on Sunday, Mar. 1, with the debut of Y: Marshals and the midseason return of Tracker.
