“‘The Young and the Restless’  has been a staple of daytime television for over 50 years, and it is with great pleasure that we will continue that legacy at CBS,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The talented cast and writers deliver compelling performances and stories on a daily basis and have provided iconic moments that have kept the show on top of the ratings and thrilled generations of fans for over five decades. We look forward to seeing what new creative twists and turns they have planned for the folks of Genoa City.”

Averaging 3.5 million viewers this season, the drama series remains the most-watched among all daytime scripted programs for a record-breaking 36th season. The series is also the most-watched daytime program among African American viewers.

The show will be celebrating several anniversaries this year, including milestone anniversaries for Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman), who’s been on the show for 45 years, and Eric Braeden (Victor Newman), who has been with the show for 44 years.

Other notable cast anniversaries include Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) at 35 years, followed by Joshua Morrow (Nicholas Newman), Sharon Case (Sharon Newman) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers), who are each celebrating 30 years since they joined the show.
