CBS is not just canceling—it’s restructuring its franchises. The network is bringing FBI and new spinoff CIA together on Monday nights, while Tuesdays will now be home to an NCIS three-hour block (NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney).
With these bold moves, CBS is clearly focusing on stronger franchise pairings and investing in its most-watched dramas. While some cancellations sting, the renewed and reimagined lineup signals that the network is aiming to keep viewers hooked well into 2026 and beyond.
