CBS held their annual press breakfast and upfront presentation today, revealing details about the upcoming TV season. The network unveiled a suite of new comedies, with much hype directed at new shows starring Kevin James and Matt LeBlanc.
Notably absent from the schedule, Limitless, which the network says it’s shopping around to potential buyers. Fans of Amazing Race will also be disappointed that the show is absent, as well — it’ll return midseason. It’s also worth noting that, while not new news, there’s no CSI of any kind on the CBS schedule for the first time since 2000.
The network quickly teased its upcoming Star Trek series, with space-y intro and logo reveal — the show will premiere in January 2017 on CBS before moving to the CBS All Access streaming service. The teaser ends with the promise of “New Crews, New Villains, New Heroes, New Worlds.”
And The Good Wife spinoff is confirmed, too, starring Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo, focusing on the characters Diane and Quinn. That’ll be on CBS All Access, exclusively.
Here’s the rest of the CBS schedule…
