Happy Together is the latest to join CBS’ new lineup, the network adding a slew of new series to its fall schedule, including two comedies and three dramas.

Joining Happy Together in the comedy category is The Neighborhood, a multi-camera comedy hailing from The Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Reynolds. The series follows Dave Johnson, portrayed by New Girls‘ Max Greenfield, who moves his family from the Midwest to Los Angeles, where his sunny disposition is much appreciated.

The drama category sees the additions of Magnum P.I., reboot of the classic ’80s series starring Tom Selleck, F.B.I., a new project from Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, and God Friended Me, an hour-long dramedy created by Steven Lilien.

The network has also given a 13-episode series order to Murphy Brown, a revival of the popular 1988 sitcom.

The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, SWAT, SEAL Team, Mom, NCIS, NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Los Angeles, Instinct, Blue Bloods, MacGyver, Ransom, Hawaii Five-0, Man With A Plan, Life in Pieces, and Salvation are all returning to the eye network this fall.
