As the network gears up to announce its fall schedule next month, CBS on Monday revealed the season finale dates for several of its high-profile comedies, dramas and unscripted series, including “Matlock,” “NCIS,” “NCIS: Origins,” “NCIS: Sydney” and “Tracker,” as well as new dramas “Marshals” and “CIA,” among others.
Everything kicks off on Thursday, April 23, with the Season 2 finale of “Matlock,” starring Kathy Bates, and concludes on Wednesday, May 27, with the Season 2 finale of the reboot of “Hollywood Squares,” which features Drew Barrymore (“The Drew Barrymore Show”) as center square.
Among the shows concluding their runs this season are “The Neighborhood (Season 8), “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (Season 8), “Watson” (Season 2) and “DMV” (Season 1), with the latter two ranking as the least watched across the network’s primetime lineup, resulting in their cancellations last week.
All other series are set to return as part of CBS’ primetime lineup during the 2026-2027 television season.
