CBS is refreshing its lineup
The network is introducing three new scripted shows this fall: the comedy “Eternally Yours” and the dramas “Cupertino” and “NCIS: New York.”
CBS had room on the schedule after canceling three scripted shows during the 2025-2026 season: the workplace comedy “DMV,” the medical drama “Watson” and the multi-camera sitcom “The Neighborhood.”
As fall inches closer, here’s everything you need to know about the new CBS shows, from plot and cast details to premiere dates
‘Cupertino’
Premiere date: Thursday, Oct. 8, at 9:30 p.m. ET
The legal drama “Cupertino” was created by husband-and-wife writing and producing team Robert King and Michelle King. The duo previously created the Emmy-winning series “The Good Wife” and its sequel “The Good Fight.”
Mike Colter, who played Lemond Bishop in both “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” is reuniting with the Kings for “Cupertino.” He stars as Michael Price, a lawyer who is being cheated out of his stock options by his former employer, a tech start-up. He teams up with Oli, another recently fired attorney, to seek justice. The series is described as a David vs. Goliath story
The “Cupertino” cast also includes Ella Stiller, Nik Dodani, Busy Philipps and Renée Elise Goldsberry
During an April interview with TV Insider, Keller said watching “Cupertino” will be a “good way for people to learn about what’s going on in our tech world right now.”
“[Viewers are] gonna learn more about what’s happening right now in these big tech companies and AI — maybe things that they didn’t realize they were already kind of seeing, experiencing on the daily,” she said
‘Eternally Yours’
Premiere date: Thursday, Oct. 8, at 8:30 p.m. ET
“Eternally Yours” is a supernatural comedy from Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the team behind the hit CBS sitcom “Ghosts.” The new series centers on Charles (Ed Weeks) and Liz (Allegra Edwards), immortal vampires who have been together for 500 years. When their daughter Emma (Helen J. Shen) begins dating an earnest human (Jaren Lewison), Charles and Liz are forced to confront the state of their own stale marriage
The “Eternally Yours” cast also includes Parker Young, Rose Abdoo, Tristan Michael Brown and Shylo Molina
During an August interview with Collider, the “Eternally Yours” cast expressed interest in doing a “Ghosts” crossover episode. Weeks imagined his character having “an arrogance-off” with Isaac Higgintoot, played by Brandon Scott Jones, “about who is the de facto leader of the group.”

In a separate Collider interview, “Ghosts” star Utkarsh Ambudkar, who plays Jay Arondekar, called “Eternally Yours” a “great sort of cousin” show to “Ghosts.”
“We watched the pilot today. It’s really funny, really smart,” he said. “We want them to stay on and be part of the CBS family, especially because they’re children of the Joes, as well. And if they do well, then we get that crossover, which would be great.”
‘NCIS: New York’
Premiere date:Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 9 p.m. ET
LL Cool J reprises his role as Sam Hanna from “NCIS: Los Angeles” in this new spinoff of the long-running military police procedural “NCIS.” Sam returns to his hometown of New York City to lead a team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents alongside a new roguish partner (Scott Caan)
“Sam Hanna is Sam Hanna, but the thing that’s different is the context,” LL Cool J said of the new series in an April interview with Parade. “You’re going to be surrounded with New York energy, put him in a New York environment with the New York electricity and you get a different guy. … So, you’re still going to have Sam, just in a different situation.”
The “NCIS: New York” cast also includes Jennifer Beals, Jacqueline Byers, Shane Harper and Devin Druid
