Big news arrives today from CBS, as the network just dropped its Fall 2025 premiere schedule! Returning favorites such as Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, Ghosts, NCIS, and Fire Country are set to return to the block. Adding to the mix will be a line of new shows, as it's a new year for possibilities.
Past seasons can be accessed and streamed on Paramount+ in case you need to catch up until fresh episodes air on the network. It's a good idea, you'll get a better idea of what to expect from the premieres.
The bad news is that October will be CBS's originals premiere month, as the network is following the same pattern as it did in 2024. But that's okay, because September will have its share of award shows and reality shows throughout the month. In addition, CBS will be airing an iconic awards show for the first time in its history.
We're going to have a full season of shows to watch this fall and it's pretty exciting, since we're huge TV fans ourselves. That being said, here's everything that will be dropping in the line-up, so you can set your DVR accordingly.
Please note that all times are set in Eastern Standard Time.
