It’s never to early to prepare for the future.
CBS recently announced its fall schedule for the 2025-2026 TV season. The lineup consists of 16 returning shows and eight new series, with the network making a splash on Sunday nights. This fall, Sundays will feature new episodes of Tracker at 8:00 p.m., followed by the debut of The Road, a new country music competition series from Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan and Blake Shelton.
The prolific writer is pulling double duty for CBS because a new Luke Grimes-led Yellowstone spinoff, currently titled Y: Marshals, is set to air Sundays in spring 2026 on the network. The series will see Grimes reprise his role as Kayce Dutton as the former rancher and Navy SEAL joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals.
