The news broke during the annual network upfronts presentation in New York City, with reports surfacing that freshman dramas "Code Black" and "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders" will be be back for sophomore seasons next year. Long-running reality series "Undercover Boss" has also been renewed for an eighth season.
Despite so-so ratings, Matthew Perry comedy "The Odd Couple" will also be back, securing a season three renewal. That means that CBS will have two former "Friends" stars on its airwaves next year, following the pickup of Matt LeBlanc sitcom "Man With a Plan."
There's no word yet about the fate of freshman series "Limitless" and "Rush Hour," which are currently on the renewal bubble, though TVLine reports that "Limitless" has a better shot than its fellow based-on-a-movie show. The former's renewal chances are about 50-50, the site says, while the latter is "as good as dead."
The four pickups announced on Monday join the following already-renewed shows: "The Big Bang Theory," "NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles," "NCIS: New Orleans," "Survivor," "The Amazing Race," "Blue Bloods," "Hawaii Five-0," "Elementary," "Scorpion," "Madam Secretary," "Criminal Minds," "Life in Pieces," "Mom," and "2 Broke Girls." As for "Supergirl," it will see a season two, but is moving from CBS to The CW.
That large crop of returning series, plus the sizable stable of new shows waiting in the wings, should make for a crowded 2016-2017 season. Viewers will have to wait until CBS releases its full schedule to plan out their viewing (or DVR programming) accordingly.
