All the CBS shows that survived a major shakeup, from FBI to Elsbeth
Your favorite TV shows are never guaranteed another season as fans of FBI: International, Most Wanted, and S.W.A.T know.
But for fans of CBS’ procedural dramas there was some good news to look forward to with 14 dramas and comedies renewed for the 2025/2026 season.
Max Theriot’s drama was renewed for a fourth season.
One of the network’s most popular shows, Fire Country is also receiving its first spin-off – Sheriff Country – which will air in the fall.
Fire Country season three ended on April 25 with an explosive two-hour finale that ended on a cliffhanger, with Cal Fire battalion chief Vince Leone, his wife, Cal Fire Division Chief Sharon, and his father, retired battalion chief Walter Leone trapped in a burning building with the roof collapsing on them.
Fans will have to wait until season four returns to find out their fates but it has been reported that Billy Burke, who plays Vince, has exited the show and will not return for further episodes.
Stephanie Arcila, who plays firefighter and EMT Gabriela Perez, has also exited the series.

Carrie Preston’s quirky drama Elsbeth has been renewed for a season three.
A spin-off of The Good Wife, Carrie stars as the titular Elsbeth Tascioni, the quirky but astute attorney who is now working with the NYPD to catch murderers while utilizing her unique point of view.
Season two left fans with lots of questions, as Kaya Blanke was promoted to detective and will no longer be Elsbeth’s sidekick and partner.
Actress Carra Patterson has exited as a series regular but the show has not yet announced who will be joining Elsbeth.
Kathy Bates‘ Matlock will be back for a second season surprising no-one.
The show was an award-winning success for CBS, and followed Oscar winner Kathy as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a septuagenarian who returns to the work force at a prestigious law firm where she uses the public’s assumptions about older women to her advantage.
