CBS just made its final renewals for next season, picking up 10 scripted series, reality staples Survivor, The Amazing Race and Undercover Boss and newsmagazines 60 Minutes and 48 Hours. No major surprises (and bloodletting) on the list of renewed CBS Logoscripted series, with all shows except for bubble series Stalker, The McCarthys and Battle Creek, which already had been unofficially cancelled, coming back, including CSI: Cyber, The Odd Couple, Person of Interest, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Hawaii Five-0, Criminal Minds, Elementary, The Good Wife and Blue Bloods. That is besides the mothership CSI series, which has not been picked up for a 16th season but has not been cancelled either. I hear the network continues to work on a finale plan for next season, probably a movie.
But the CSI brand will live on even beyond that with the latest offshoot, CSI Cyber starring Patricia Arquette, clinching a renewal. The Odd Couple Thomas Lennon Matthew PerryI hear the midseason series, which has done so-so in the ratings, may undergo some retooling. Another midseason CBS series which has landed a second season pickup after an OK not great freshman turn is comedy The Odd Couple. Both are owned by CBS as are all but one of the 10 renewed series, including one co-producuction. For the sole non-CBS-produced returning show, POI, I hear this may be the final season.
The three cancelled series all are from outside studios; one, The McCarthy, is a co-producing with CBS. The 10 renewed scripted series join previously picked up freshmen Scorpion, Madam Secretary and NCIS: New Orleans and comedies The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Mom and 2 Broke Girls.
For Criminal Minds, the renewal once again comes before the cast have closed deals for next season, a position CBS and the show have been in before. The veteran will be joined by newly picked up spinoff Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
