SitcomsOnline Digest: CBS Cancels The Late Show; Gilmore Girls Headed to Hallmark

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we are learning of what could be the end of late night talk shows, hearing of a new acquisition by Hallmark, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• The big (and unexpected) news this week was that CBS has chosen to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and will not even be replacing him with a new host, but the bigger story here may be that we're likely in the last few years of broadcast networks having a late night talk show, and Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers may not go beyond the next three years. (Hollywood Reporter)
• While the current dispute involving the streaming rights for South Park continues to play out in the US, Paramount+ (which is supposed to become the new home to the series in the US) has pulled the series from the service internationally. (Hollywood Reporter)
• Gilmore Girls is headed to Hallmark soon, though given Hallmark's track record with series that aren't Golden Girls and Reba, it remains to be seen how long it'll last. (Deadline)
• Now that they'll be airing NBA games, Peacock is raising the price of their subscription almost 40%. (Deadline)
• Alan Bergman, the lyricist behind the theme songs for Good Times, Maude, and Alice, has died at 99. (Hollywood Reporter)
• Antenna TV is set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of I Dream of Jeannie. (SitcomsOnline)

• Catchy Comedy has a "Christmas in July" binge this weekend, featuring Christmas episodes of classic comedies.
• The new seasons of South Park and Digman arrive Wednesday on Comedy Central (maybe, assuming the creators of South Park don't walk out by then).
• ABC has season premieres of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Match Game (with a new host) on Wednesday.

ABC Fall 2025 Premiere Dates; The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to End in May 2026

ABC unveiled its fall 2025 premiere dates, showcasing a lineup of fan-favorite reality shows, heartwarming comedies and thrilling dramas, including the highly anticipated new series, 9-1-1: Nashville. Monday Night Football returns on most Mondays beginning September 8 (Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears). Breakout hit and last season's No. 1 new program, High Potential, returns for its second season Tuesday, September 16, following ballroom sensation Dancing with the Stars, which will celebrate its milestone 20th anniversary. The Golden Bachelor returns Wednesday, September 24, with a two-hour premiere featuring new leading man Mel Owens, followed by a new season of Shark Tank. The sophomore season of Shifting Gears and a new season of Emmy and Golden Globe(R) Award-winning comedy Abbott Elementary join Wednesday nights beginning October 1.

From executive producer Ryan Murphy, the newest iteration of the 9-1-1 universe, 9-1-1: Nashville, debuts Thursday, October 16, alongside principal series 9-1-1 and the longest-running primetime medical drama in television history, Grey's Anatomy. Ryan Seacrest hosts his inaugural season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune alongside the legendary Vanna White when the beloved game show premieres Friday, September 26, followed by new episodes of ABC News' 20/20. America's Funniest Home Videos returns Sunday, September 28, before The Wonderful World of Disney broadcast premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Additional movies to air this fall include the broadcast premieres of Elemental, Avatar: The Way of Water and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

As previously announced, new seasons of returning series American Idol, The Bachelor, Celebrity Jeopardy!, The Rookie and Will Trent will debut in 2026, as well as the recently picked up comedy series Scrubs. These premiere dates will be announced at a later date.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026 at the close of the 2025-26 broadcast season. Colbert announced the news during tonight's taping at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

Official statement: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season. We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.

This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.

Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult. Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been #1 in late night for nine straight seasons; Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media; and the broadcast is a staple of the nation's zeitgeist.

The accomplishments of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert are memorable and significant in performance, quality and stature. With much gratitude, we look forward to honoring Stephen and celebrating the show over the next 10 months alongside its millions of fans and viewers."

Shark Tank, the critically acclaimed and multi-Emmy® Award-winning business-themed unscripted series that celebrates entrepreneurship in America, returns to ABC and Hulu Wednesdays this fall with a powerhouse lineup of business tycoons and Guest Sharks featured throughout the season. The Sharks – tough, self-made, multimillionaire and billionaire tycoons — will continue their search to invest in the best businesses and products that America has to offer, and will once again give people from all walks of life the chance to chase the American dream and potentially secure business deals that could make them millionaires.

The season 17 guest Sharks include the following:
● Allison Ellsworth, founder and chief brand officer, poppi
● Chip and Joanna Gaines, owners and founders, Magnolia
● Alexis Ohanian, venture capitalist and founder, Seven Seven Six; co-founder, Reddit
● Kendra Scott, owner and founder, Kendra Scott
● Michael Strahan, co-anchor, Good Morning America and co-founder of SMAC
● Fawn Weaver, founder and CEO, Uncle Nearest Inc.
● Rashaun Williams, venture capitalist, Atlanta Falcons LP

These Guest Sharks will appear throughout the season alongside the Sharks: real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran; prolific CPG investor and inventor Lori Greiner; cyber security technology innovator Robert Herjavec; fashion and branding expert Daymond John; Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND Snacks, Camino Partners and Builders; and venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary.

Tubi, Fox Corporation's ad-supported streaming service, announced Paris Berelc (Alexa & Katie) will star opposite Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) in the Tubi Original YA Romantic Comedy Film Kissing Is the Easy Part. Jennifer Robertson (Ginny & Georgia) also joins the cast as Angel's mother. Fawzia Mirza (The Queen of My Dreams) is set to direct the film, which is based on the popular Wattpad webnovel (currently at 31.9 million reads) of the same name by Christine Duann adapted by Rebecca Webb. Both Berelc and Mirza also serve as executive producers.

Berelc is set to play "Flora," the effortlessly cool girl everyone at school knows - popular, funny, unpredictable and opinionated - who resists the academic path her parents envision for her and creates a connection with her tutor, "Sean" (Angel), that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about herself, love and her own potential. Robertson plays "Erin," a warm and kind single mother raising her kids after the passing of her late husband who welcomes "Flora" into her family and watches with joy as her son (Angel) finds love for the first time. The romantic comedy tells the story of a straight-A overachiever who makes a deal to tutor a popular wild child in exchange for a college recommendation letter to his dream school, but when sparks fly, school is the least of their problems.

The film was previously announced at Fox Upfront as part of Tubi's young adult programming slate. Additional cast includes Tom Keat (Fear Street: Prom Queen), Hayley Festeryga (This Time), Roshahn Dhoré (Adults), Mark Ballantyne (The Way Home), Rosalie Turmel (Cirkus) and Sorika Wolf (Fargo).

Bert Kreischer Gets Netflix Sitcom; NBC Gets Into Survival Mode This Summer

Free Bert, a new scripted comedy series from actor and comedian Bert Kreischer, is coming to Netflix. The Bert Kreischer-led comedy has cast Arden Myrin as Bert's wife LeeAnn and the mother of their two daughters who grew up in a trailer park, Ava Ryan as the couple's older daughter, Georgia, who is the target of cyberbullying, Lilou Lang as the younger daughter, and Mandell Maughan in a recurring role. The six-episode series was created by Kreischer and directors Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel.

In Free Bert, Kreischer - shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard - finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When his unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts, he decides to "put on a shirt" and stifle his true nature to better fit in." LeeAnn Kreischer, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Elise Henderson and Judi Marmel also executive produce for Counterpart Studios.

Survival Mode, an all-new weekly limited series produced by NBC News Studios, premieres Monday, July 7 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on NBC. Across nine episodes, the series chronicles some of the most recent devastating disasters - including the Maui wildfires, the Amtrak 501 derailment, Superstorm Sandy, and the sinking of the Costa Concordia - through firsthand accounts from survivors and rare archival footage.

Each episode offers an in-depth look at how ordinary people, alongside first responders and loved ones, faced extraordinary circumstances.
