The “Ghosts” and “Fire Country” renewals come at an important time for CBS as the network is saying goodbye to several series this season, including “Young Sheldon,” “S.W.A.T.,” “Bob Hearts Abishola” and prepares to say goodbye to “Blue Bloods,” which is currently airing the first half of its 14th and final season on the network following “Fire Country” on Friday nights. Next season, the network must fill several vacant spots surrounding both shows.
