CBS will wrap up another season as the most-watched network and it's celebrating with season renewals for 11 of its returning shows. The shows join the already renewed "NCIS" and "The Big Bang Theory."
For dramas, "Blue Bloods" (season seven), "Hawaii Five-O" (season seven), "Madam Secretary" (season three), "NCIS: Los Angeles" (season eight), "NCIS: New Orleans" (season three), and "Scorpion" (season three) will return for the 2016-2017 season. Comedies returning include "Mom" (season four) and "2 Broke Girls" (season 6).
"Survivor" and "The Amazing Race" will also have contestants setting off on another adventure for their 33rd and 29th cycles, respectively. "NCIS" received a two-season pick up last month and "The Big Bang Theory" is renewed through its 10th season.
CBS announced no early renewals for its fall freshmen series "Code Black," "Life in Pieces," "Limitless" and "Supergirl." The "Criminal Minds" spinoff, "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders" has only aired two episodes and the TV adaption of "Rush Hour" will premiere on March 31.
Fans of these shows shouldn't panic yet. CBS CEO Leslie Moonves revealed earlier this month that the network plans to renew at least five of those shows for the fall, but didn't specify which ones.
Still left waiting is the "CSI" spinoff, "CSI: Cyber," which wrapped up its second season on March 13. If "Criminals Minds" returns for a 12th season, it will be down one agent after Shemar Moore's exit in the March 23 episode.
The sophomore comedy, "The Odd Couple," makes its season two premiere on April 7, so CBS will likely wait to renew or cancel it until after it returns.
The network will bid farewell to "The Good Wife" in May. The creators Michelle and Robert King chose to end the show after seven seasons. "Mike & Molly" will also air its final episodes this spring. CBS cancelled the sitcom after sixth season.
"Person of Interest" also got the hook and its upcoming fifth season will be its last. The comedy "Angel from Hell" also got pulled from the schedule after only five episodes aired.
To replace the departing series, CBS is considering 16 total pilots, nine comedies and seven dramas. The comedies include shows starring Joel McHale, Matt Leblanc and Kevin James. For drama, a remake of "MacGyver" and a TV adaptation of "Training Day" are both in the running to appear on the 2016-2017 schedule.
