SitcomsOnline Digest: CBS to Air Second Season of Yellowstone; Showtime Getting Out of Sports Business
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's a bit of a slow week (and the SAG-AFTRA strike is on, but there are no developments in resolving it this week), but we're here with news about what CBS is doing to fill those gaps created by the strike, news of a late night talk show that is already on hiatus (for non-strike related reasons), and more. Let's get going!
