The fall season starting later than normal this year will undoubtedly help some, but with no telling on if or when another full-on production shutdown may happen, there’s just no way to know how the next few months could play out.
The challenge for CBS and other networks will be to flesh out fall and spring schedules, while the world waits for restrictions related to COVID-19 to loosen.
It’s worth noting that these might not be the only shows that see shortened seasons at CBS, as TVLine reported decisions have not been made on Mom, Young Sheldon, S.W.A.T., and All Rise.
