CBS has announced the renewal of four of its most popular drama series: Tracker, Elsbeth, Fire Country, and NCIS. The decision reinforces the network’s confidence in its current slate of programming, particularly as all four shows have consistently delivered strong ratings and critical attention. These renewals ensure that CBS will retain a solid mix of veteran hits and newer successes going into the next television season.
NCIS, now preparing for its 23rd season, remains a cornerstone of the network’s primetime lineup. Despite multiple cast shakeups over the years, the show continues to command a loyal fanbase and high viewership. Its renewal comes as no surprise, but still serves as a reassuring confirmation for longtime fans. Similarly, Fire Country, which quickly gained momentum with emotionally charged storylines and intense action, will be returning for its third season.
Newer additions Tracker and Elsbeth have also earned their place on the roster. Tracker, starring Justin Hartley, has proven to be a breakout hit, combining personal drama with mystery-of-the-week appeal. Elsbeth, a spinoff of The Good Wife, has received positive reviews for its offbeat tone and strong performances. Their early success reflects CBS’s ongoing strategy of developing new franchises while supporting established properties.
Network executives have pointed to the creative strength of these series and their production teams as key reasons for the renewals. With these four dramas secured for new seasons, CBS is positioned to maintain its stronghold in broadcast drama, continuing to deliver familiar faces and fresh stories that resonate with audiences.
