CBS is making some changes to its fall schedule in the wake of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
First up, the network hopes to expose Yellowstone to a bigger audience than before.
Yellowstone will make its broadcast debut by airing as part of the network’s Sunday slate, paired up with 60 Minutes and Big Brother.
Yes, Big Brother is airing later in the fall this season and will also air later in the evening on Sundays.
For some reason, the network is banishing fresh episodes to 10 p.m. on that night.
Obviously, 60 Minutes will serve as a better lead-in for Yellowstone, but the move could harm the network’s reliable reality staple.
Big Brother will also air Tuesdays and Thursdays in the 8 p.m. slot.
Thursdays will also consist of Buddy Games and The Challenge: USA but will switch things up later into the fall when those two reality shows conclude.
Ghosts will be paired with the UK original, while SEAL Team will return to the network.
SEAL Team Season 5 will kick things off, and there’s a chance fans will also see the sixth season on the network.
Many fans lost out when CBS moved the show to Paramount+, so now, it’s time for those fans to see the episodes they missed.
Wednesdays will be all-reality with Survivor and The Amazing Race.
Fridays will bring The Price is Right at Night and Let’s Make a Deal back to the air.
CBS is also teasing an unannounced Paramount+ original drama for Mondays at 10 p.m.
Our best guess? EVIL. Second best? Criminal Minds.
