CBS Announces Fall 2025 Premiere Dates for Multiple Series, NCIS Tuesday Lineup

CBS has announced its fall 2025 primetime schedule featuring premieres and returns of popular series. Notably, the FBI spinoff CIA, starring Tom Ellis, has been delayed to midseason due to creative changes and a new showrunner, Warren Leight, replacing David Hudgins. In contrast, Watson starring Morris Chestnut will premiere its second season earlier than expected on Monday, October 13. CBS Premiere Week starts Sunday, October 12, with sneak peeks of Matlock and Elsbeth before they move to regular Thursday slots. Fridays will feature Jerry Bruckheimer productions, with Fire Country returning for its fourth season and the new spinoff Sheriff Country debuting. Additional highlights include an all NCIS night on Tuesdays, the return of Survivor and The Amazing Race on Wednesdays, and new series like DMV and Boston Blue joining the lineup.
