"FBI" Offshoot "CIA" Pushed to Midseason
CBS has made some changes to its fall schedule as it announces its new season plans.
New 'FBI' spinoff 'CIA,' which had been slated to premiere in the fall, will now be held back for midseason as it undergoes some tinkering.
The show, from Dick Wolf, has switched showrunners: Warren Leight ('Law & Order: SVU') will take over from David Hudgins, and has been given additional time to adjust before going into production.
Tom Ellis stars in 'CIA,' and the writers room is now up on the show — with casting set to begin soon and production now expected to start in the fall.
With 'CIA' pushed back, CBS will now move up Season 2 of 'Watson,' originally slated for midseason, to fall instead.
Beyond that, CBS has opted to launch most of its fall sked in October, aiming to take advantage of September events (including, of course, the return of NFL football).
Much of its lineup is set to bow the week of October 12, which the Eye has dubbed 'CBS Premiere Week.'
That night, CBS will take advantage of an NFL doubleheader to launch the returns of hits 'Matlock' and 'Elsbeth,' on a special night before moving to their regular Thursday slots later that week. And on Friday, October 17, the network will stunt 'Fire Country' at 8 p.m. to launch newbies 'Sheriff Country' and 'Boston Blue.' ('Fire' and 'Sheriff' swap to their normal slots the following week.)
CBS' September special fare includes its first-ever airing of MTV's Video Music Awards on September 7, then the 77th Emmy Awards on September 14 and 'A Grammy Salute to Earth, Wind & Fire Live: The 21st Night of September' on September 21.

Lotfy Labib Shares Health Update Amid Hospitalization
Yara Sameh Veteran Egyptian actor Lotfy Labib has shared an update about his current health condition after being admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after suffering a health scare. In a statement on Tuesday, Labib said that despite still being in intensive care, his condition is stable. "I am receiving the necessary medical care and will be discharged next Friday," he added. Labib thanked everyone who checked on him and supported him during the period, adding that he is satisfied with everything that has happened to him recently. He continued: "I have a swollen throat, but thank God, don't worry about me, and his voice has begun to improve." On Sunday, Labib was admitted to the intensive care (ICU) after suffering a health scare. He underwent the medical tests to determine the cause of his illness. Father Boutros Daniel, director of the Catholic Centre for Cinema in Egypt, has shared an update on the actor's health, explaining that he suffered a sudden health issue in the past hours that required his transfer to the hospital, where he is in the ICU and banned from receiving visitors. He added that Labib is attached to his fans, loves them, and appreciates them, and asked the actor's fans to pray for him. "The best thing they can do now is pray for his speedy recovery," Labib noted. Born on August 18, 1947, Labib is an Egyptian stage, television, and film actor. The acclaimed actor has worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits. Through many of his screen appearances, the veteran actor has performed admirably and has shown himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation. On March 29, Labib announced his retirement from acting due to his health condition. "In my current health condition, if I get a role, I won't be able to play it because I prefer that my image remains as it was to the fans," he said. He made his final onscreen appearance in the 2024 film ' Ana W Ibn Khalti ' ("Me and My Cousin"). Hanady Mehanna, Bayoumi Fouad, Sayed Ragab, Mimi Gamal, Sara Abdelrahman, Ali Loka, and Enaam Salousa round out the cast. Ahmed Saleh directed from a script by Doaa Abdel Wahab and Amr Abu Zeid. The official logline for the film states, 'Engage in the traditional, age-old rivalry through several comedic situations to prove who's better, only to discover in the end that the real victory is family and that everyone is best loved by those around them.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
