  "textContent": "CBS has unveiled its 2026–2027 fall primetime schedule, but a major shift involving two of its biggest shows,  _Matlock_ and  _Ghosts_ , is drawing the most attention.\n\nBoth series have been pushed out of the fall lineup and will instead return during the midseason window, despite remaining strong performers for the network.\n\n## New shows step in as CBS reshuffles lineup\n\nTaking their place are a slate of new titles, including  _NCIS: New York_ , a spinoff joining the long-running  _NCIS_ franchise. The new series is set to air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.\n\nAlso joining the fall schedule are drama  _Cupertino_ and comedy  _Eternally Yours_ , as CBS looks to refresh its lineup while maintaining a strong base of returning content.\n\nNetwork executives said the decision to move  _Matlock_ and  _Ghosts_ reflects the depth of the schedule, allowing the network to spread major titles across the season.\n\n## Returning hits, cancellations and a wider strategy\n\nMuch of the schedule will still be anchored by returning favourites such as  _FBI_ ,  _Survivor_ ,  _The Amazing Race_ and  _Tracker_.\n\nAt the same time, CBS has made room for new programming by cancelling  _DMV_ and  _Watson_ , while long-running sitcom  _The Neighborhood_ is set to end after its final season.\n\nOther projects, including  _Einstein_ , are also being held for midseason, signalling a broader rollout strategy that staggers key releases throughout the year.\n\nCBS will also continue to rely on major live events, including the MTV Video Music Awards, the Golden Globes and a live special of  _The Price Is Right_ , to drive viewership.\n\nWith hit shows delayed and new titles stepping in, CBS appears to be betting on a staggered release model to keep audiences engaged beyond the traditional fall season.\n\nThe post ‘Matlock’, ‘Ghosts’ midseason move: CBS shake-up explained appeared first on HUM News English.",
