Twist! Yellowstone, UK’s Ghosts Head to CBS as Part of Strike-Altered Fall Schedule
CBS on Monday afternoon released a wholly expected update to its original Fall TV schedule, which had come on the heels of the WGA strike starting, predated the SAG-AFTRA strike, and hoped against all hope for new episodes of no fewer than 16 scripted shows.
Instead….
♦ The megahit Western Yellowstone, starting with its very first episode, will gallop on over from Paramount Network to help supplant strikes-postponed seasons of scripted shows. Also being enlisted for that cause are the UK comedy Ghosts (on which the CBS hitcom is based, and starting with Season 1), onetime CBS drama SEAL Team (picking up with Season 5) and “curated” classic episodes of Blue Bloods.
♦ New reality-TV fare being fast-tracked for fall include the Josh Duhamel-hosted competition Buddy Games, the Jaime Camil-hosted game show Lotería Loca, Raid the Cage (based on an Israeli quizzer) and the Paramount+ docuseries FBI TRUE.
