CBS Just Renewed Ten Shows, But I’m Thinking About The Two That Have Unclear Fates

CBS has renewed ten of its shows for another season, just like they did back in 2025. Here’s the list:

As a huge fan of that Japanese sci-fi thriller, I was completely hooked by its intense games and surprisingly emotional core – and the lead was fantastic! But you always worry with these high-concept shows that they’ll eventually run out of steam. Honestly, I think Netflix made a smart call ending it after three seasons. So many adaptations just keep going and going until they become…forgettable. They dodged that bullet, and I really appreciate it – it means the show will stay a standout in my mind.

CBS has renewed the popular series Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage for a third season. This hit show, a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory and a continuation of Young Sheldon, finished its second season in December, and fans have been eager to hear about its future ever since.

Alex Proyas’ 1998 film, Dark City, initially received mixed reactions and didn’t perform well at the box office. However, it’s since gained a reputation as a cult classic, and its unique style still makes it a memorable film today.

Shortly after the first season ended, MGM+ announced that the show would be renewed for a second season, set to premiere in 2026. The streaming service wanted to capitalize on the show’s growing popularity – data from FlixPatrol shows interest in The Institute has recently surged, even though a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet.

The premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms drew 6.7 million viewers across HBO and HBO Max in its first three days, making it one of the top three most-watched premieres in HBO Max history. Only the first two seasons of House of the Dragon had bigger debuts, according to data from Warner Bros. Discovery and Nielsen.

While Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow hasn’t achieved the same critical acclaim or lasting influence as other films of its time, it’s still a remarkably important movie. In fact, it paved the way for some popular films we enjoy today. It’s a groundbreaking technical achievement, likely impossible to recreate, and perhaps deserves a fresh look.

CBS has ordered more seasons of 10 of its shows for the 2026-2027 television year. The popular drama NCIS will be back for a 23rd season, and its spin-offs NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney have also been renewed – for seasons 2 and 3, respectively. Joining them will be returning favorites like Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Matlock, Elsbeth, Fire Country, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.

Starting in 2024, the actor returned to doing action roles with the CBS series Tracker. The show follows Colter Shaw, a highly skilled tracker who assists local police with cases across the United States in return for payment. Tracker premiered on February 11, 2024, and has already released two successful seasons, with the first half of its third season scheduled to premiere on March 1, 2026.

The Oscars expanded the number of nominees from five to ten fifteen years ago, but I now believe going back to five would be a good idea. The change was originally made to ensure deserving films weren’t overlooked, but this year’s list of nominees has convinced me that ten is simply too many.
