CBS has officially confirmed that The Bold and the Beautiful, one of daytime television’s most enduring soap operas, will continue to captivate viewers at least through 2026. The renewal comes just as the show prepares to roll out a slate of dramatic new episodes this October, packed with betrayals, shocking returns, and life-altering decisions.
Executive producer Bradley Bell revealed that the upcoming episodes will put several core families in direct conflict. “We’re pushing our characters to emotional extremes,” Bell shared in a press release. “Fans should expect weddings disrupted, secrets revealed, and alliances shattered in ways that will ripple across the canvas for years to come.”
CBS executives praised the show for maintaining its loyal audience while continuing to attract new generations of viewers. In fact, ratings in key daytime slots have remained steady, with a noticeable surge in streaming via Paramount+.
October’s episodes promise fireworks. Steffy Forrester will reportedly face a devastating ultimatum regarding her marriage to Finn, while Ridge Forrester finds himself caught between loyalty to Brooke and a dangerous entanglement with Taylor. Meanwhile, whispers from behind the scenes suggest the return of a once-dead character—a twist certain to send shockwaves through the Forrester family.
With the renewal secured and fresh storylines brewing, The Bold and the Beautiful shows no sign of slowing down, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of CBS daytime drama.
