‘Yellowstone'-verse Expands to CBS With ‘Marshals' Spinoff on 2025-26 Schedule
The world of Yellowstone is getting a new outpost — and a new network. CBS has ordered a spinoff of the hit western as part of its 2025-26 slate. Currently titled Y: Marshals (with the 'Y' standing for Yellowstone, naturally), the show will star Luke Grimes, who will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton from the flagship series as he joins an 'elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana,' per the show's logline. It's set to premiere in spring 2026 and is one of seven new series the network will roll out next season. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Animal Control' and 'Going Dutch' Comedies Renewed at Fox Sonequa Martin-Green Boards CBS' 'Boston Blue' CBS Execs Unveil New Plans, Talk Grammys Exit and Colbert Negotiations Spencer Hudnut (SEAL Team) will be the showrunner on Marshals, executive producing with Taylor Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, Grimes, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari. As with all the Yellowstone-verse series, the show comes from MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. The network's rookie class also includes dramas Boston Blue, CIA and Sheriff Country — all of them spinoffs of current or recently ended CBS shows (Blue Bloods, FBI and Fire Country, respectively); a single-camera comedy called DMV; and unscripted shows The Road, America's Culinary Cup and Harlan Coben's Final Twist, a true-crime series hosted by the best-selling author. CBS has also rearranged some of its veteran series, moving FBI from Tuesday to Monday nights (where it will pair with CIA) and creating a three-hour NCIS block on Tuesdays. The latter move brings NCIS, entering its 23rd season in the fall, back to the night it anchored the first 18 of those seasons. NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney will follow at 9 and 10 p.m. Sheriff Country, starring Morena Baccarin, will lead into Fire Country on Friday nights, and Boston Blue — which will follow Mark Wahlberg's Danny Reagan to a new city — gets the 10 p.m. slot that Blue Bloods called home for virtually its entire run. In its schedule announcement Wednesday, CBS also planted a couple of seeds for the 2026-27 season. FBI and Ghosts are on multi-year orders that will take them through 2026-27. The network will also have Einstein, a procedural starring Matthew Gray Gubler that it initially ordered for next season before deciding to push it back a year. Additionally, the network has opened a writers room and ordered 12 scripts for Cupertino, a 'David vs. Goliath' legal drama set in Silicon Valley from Elsbeth and Evil creators Robert and Michelle King. CBS' schedule for the 2025-26 season is below.

CBS Drops First Look at 'Blue Bloods' Spinoff 'Boston Blue'
The Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue, is turning out to be one of the most highly anticipated shows of the 2025-2026 television season. Now, CBS is making sure fans get a tease of what is to come this fall. The network revealed on May 7 that the show will air on Friday nights at 10 p.m., following Sheriff Country at 8 p.m. and Fire Country at 9 p.m. It will be an all-Jerry Bruckheimer-produced block of shows. CBS also gave fans a look at what they can expect this fall with a 10-second clip starring Donnie Wahlberg, who reprises his role as Danny Reagan. "Donnie Wahlberg here," he said in the video. "Can't wait for you to see my new series, Boston Blue. Coming CBS fall." The clip shows a scenic look at the Massachusetts state capital and a snippet of Danny back in action but in a new city. It's just enough to hold viewers for a few months ahead of its premiere. The storyline for the series, via CBS, proves that Danny hasn't skipped a beat. "Donnie Wahlberg reprises his role as NYPD veteran Danny Reagan as he joins the Boston PD and partners with Detective Lena Peters (Sonequa Martin-Green), a rising star from a powerful law enforcement family. New city. New partner. Same commitment to justice," the logline reads. Martin-Green's casting was announced on May 7 and she's excited to be back working for CBS after a turn on Star Trek: Discovery as Michael Burnham for Paramount+. 'We love the Reagans. We have all loved the Reagans for so long,' Martin-Green said, via Variety. 'And I feel that we'll love the Peters too. I'm super excited for this partnership, and to be back in a CBS family — and in this family, your family. It means a lot, and I'm grateful for it. I think we're going to have a good time.' More of the cast will likely be revealed in the weeks ahead, but Wahlberg has promised Reagan family cameos already. "Danny's story will continue the Reagan family. You can't have Danny without Reagans — there'll be connective tissue," he confirmed. "But we're also going to get to discover a new family and carry on the tradition of telling their stories.'

CBS Cancels The Equalizer After Five Seasons Despite Budget Cuts And Loyal Viewership
Washington: CBS has opted not to renew the crime drama series 'The Equalizer' starring Queen Latifah for a sixth season. The decision comes after the network's 2025-26 schedule announcement, and the Season 5 finale will now serve as a series finale, as per Deadline. 'The Equalizer' has been a reliable performer on Sundays, but its ratings have eroded over time, placing it in the middle of the pack at CBS this season. Despite the show's creative team crafting the Season 5 finale in a way that could potentially serve as a series finale, the network ultimately decided not to renew the show. Producers of 'The Equalizer' had agreed to reduce the budget of the show to the levels CBS had asked for, with Queen Latifah believed to have made concessions herself. However, this was not enough to secure a renewal. The cancellation of 'The Equalizer' is part of a larger trend of cancellations at CBS, with several other shows also being cancelled this season. The network's new scripted series for 2025-26 include 'Sheriff Country,' 'Boston Blue,' 'CIA,' and 'DMV,' with 'Einstein' being held for 2026-27. 'The Equalizer' is a reimagining of the classic 1980s series and stars Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. The show has been praised for its portrayal of a strong female lead and its exploration of social justice issues.
