The business-as-usual CBS fall schedule is starting to look a lot less likely.
The broadcast network has announced CBS All Access original Star Trek and Pop TV original One Day at a Time will both be used to give the network time until originals return to the air.
“This is hardly a traditional fall season, but we are prepared with a strong slate of original content while our regular scripted series begin production,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment.
“Based on our current timeline, we hope to start rolling out our previously announced fall series as they become available in November.”
The upcoming broadcasts from CBS News include: television’s #1 news program, 60 Minutes, premiering Sunday, Sept. 20* (7:30-8:30 PM, ET/7:00-8:00 PM, PT); a special edition of 48 Hours: Suspicion on Wednesdays beginning Sept. 9 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT); the return of 48 HOURS’ Saturday edition on Sept. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT); and the launch of the new six-part series THE FBI DECLASSIFIED on Tuesday, Oct. 13 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).
The FBI Declassified, narrated by Alana De La Garza, from the CBS drama FBI, gives viewers unprecedented access to some of the biggest cases handled by real-life FBI agents and analysts.
The broadcast is produced by the award-winning team behind CBS News’ 48 HOURS.
The premieres of the three returning reality favorites include:
THE GREATEST #ATHOME VIDEOS, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, on Friday, Sept. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT); two-time Emmy Award winner Undercover Boss on Friday, Oct. 2 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT); and the next edition of the multiple Emmy Award-winning reality series The Amazing Race, hosted by Phil Keoghan, on Wednesday, Oct. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).
