The WGA writers strike that began back in early May is still ongoing, with no sign of a deal being struck that would result in scripts in time for fall TV season. Networks are branching out to find options to fill primetime come fall, and the newly-announced lineup from CBS proves that yet another network is leaning heavily on unscripted and pre-filmed options. On the plus side, though, Yellowstone fans have something to celebrate!
While CBS had previously confirmed some details about the fall portion of the 2023 TV premiere schedule such as Survivor and The Amazing Race being supersized, the full primetime lineup has been announced, and the network is certainly branching out. In addition to reruns of NCIS, FBI, Young Sheldon, Ghosts, and fan-favorite episodes of Blue Bloods, CBS is looking to streaming services and other channels to fill the nights. For Yellowstone fans, that means the arrival of Paramount Network’s smash hit series about the Dutton family coming to broadcast network television for the first time.
