CBS Reveals Midseason TV Schedule for ‘NCIS’, ‘Blue Bloods’ and More Shows
Blue Bloods fans will not have to wait too long for the show’s return after the Reagan family begin their winter break. CBS announced the midseason premiere date for Blue Bloods, as well as NCIS, FBI, and other hit shows. The eye network also scheduled the premiere for True Lies, a new series inspired by the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
CBS’ midseason kicks off with the explosive NCIS crossover event. The three-part special will begin on Monday, Jan. 2 at 8 p.m. ET with NCIS. NCIS: Hawai’i and NCIS: Los Angeles will follow, confirming that all three parts of the story will air in a single night. NCIS: Los Angeles will move to its regular Sunday timeslot on Jan. 8. NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i will move to their usual times on Monday, Jan. 16.
CBS only has two new shows on the schedule for midseason. True Lies, which stars Steve Howey and Ginger Gonzaga, will debut on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET, following Young Sheldon and Ghosts. However, it will usually air on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET following Survivor. True Lies debuts in that slot on Wednesday, March 1.
The second new show is Lingo, a word game hosted by RuPaul Charles. This will debut on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 9 p.m. ET, following a special episode of The Price Is Right at Night. Tough As Nails Season 4 will debut on Jan. 11 as well.
