CBS released its Fall Primetime Schedule 2026-2027, and there is a whole lot to process. Between returning shows (like Tracker, Elsbeth, Marshals, the "NCIS" universe, Fire Country, Sheriff Country, and many more) and specials, and new shows (like NCIS: New York, Cupertino, Einstein, and Eternally Yours) and specials, the network isn't lacking when it comes to the upcoming television season.
