CBS is holding Tracker for late in the fall
Exactly one year after the start of the 2023 writers strike left TV Town pulling out its collective hair trying to figure out what to put on the air, CBS announced its schedule for the 2024 fall TV season, and it’s back to business, baby. Well, provided the potential IATSE (The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) strike doesn’t happen and disrupt another season of television, but that’s another story.
CBS appears to be giving its shows a little cushion anyway, as the network is scheduling its big premiere week to start Monday, Oct. 14. (For comparison, back in 2022 — the last “normal” fall TV season — CBS premiered all its big shows starting Sept. 19.) Mondays will be NCIS night, with the original NCIS paired with the new prequel series NCIS: Origins (here’s everything we know about NCIS: Origins), which tells the story of a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Tuesdays belong to the FBI franchise, with FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International all airing back to back to back. Survivor anchors Wednesday nights once again, and it will be joined by the new mountaineering competition The Summit.

New fall TV shows
Young Sheldon may be ending, but the spin-off Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage keeps The Big Bang Theory prequel’s vibes going at 8/7c on Thursdays, followed by a new season of Ghosts, Kathy Bates’ new series Matlock, and Season 2 of Elsbeth. S.W.A.T., Fire Country, and the final season of Blue Bloods hold down Friday nights, with the NCIS: Sydney taking over for Blue Bloods at midseason.
The most-watched broadcast show of the season (with help from the cushy post-Super Bowl premiere slot), Justin Hartley’s Tracker, moves to a new time slot on Sundays, inching up an hour to anchor the evening and lead into a new season of The Equalizer at 9/8c. Come midseason, they will be joined by new series Watson, a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes’ partner, starring Morris Chestnut.
