The renewed CBS Original series include: Tracker, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Matlock, Elsbeth, Fire Country, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Sydney, Survivor, and The Amazing Race. They join previous series orders for the 2026-2027 season: Boston Blue, Sheriff Country, FBI, Ghosts, and new Cupertino and Einstein. This brings the total number of series ordered for the 2026-2027 season to 16. Additional series orders and renewals will be made at future dates.


Shifting Gears and Abbott Elementary

ABC's Wednesday comedies are back in style. Shifting Gears (8 p.m. ET/PT) roared back for its midseason premiere, earning 6.88 million Total Viewers after seven days of viewing on ABC, Hulu, Hulu on Disney+ and digital platforms, rising +58% (vs. 4.36 million) over the show's initial Live+Same Day audience. The show scored its biggest total audience since the season debut (10/1/25). Abbott Elementary (8:30 p.m. ET/PT) also returned on a high note, earning 5.81 million Total Viewers after seven days of multiplatform viewing, rising +112% (vs. 2.74 million) over the initial Live+Same Day audience with its best audience in five weeks (since 10/22/25).

Standing as the top two shows of the night, Shifting Gears (0.57 rating) and Abbott Elementary (0.56 rating) dominated the linear landscape as the No. 2 and No. 3 scripted shows of the week in Adults 18-49, respectively, behind only ABC's High Potential. Coming up next week (Jan. 28 on ABC, streaming next day on Hulu), Matt is thrilled to show off his military-hero son Sam on Shifting Gears (8 p.m. ET/PT), but a shift in Sam's career could finally give Riley a chance to be the golden child. Meanwhile, Andy's singing hits all the wrong notes for Riley. Jesse Williams and Luke Macfarlane guest star. And on Abbott Elementary (8:30 p.m. ET/PT), when picture day catches the teachers at Abbott by surprise, chaos ensues.
