4 Comedy Stars Leading New CBS Show — Including Two ‘SNL’ Favorites

CBS’ newest comedy is filled with comedy stars.

The network has ordered workplace comedy DMV for the 2025-26 season, and the ensemble includes two Saturday Night Live legends: Tim Meadows and Molly Kearney.

According to TVLine, DMV is “set at the place everyone dreads going most.” The single-camera comedy comes from executive producer Dana Klein and is one of two new shows to be picked up for next season.

Crime procedural Einstein with Matthew Gray Gubler and FBI offshoot CIA with Tom Ellis have also been ordered, alongside previously announced Boston Blue and Sheriff Country. The cast includes NCIS: Hawai’i star Alex Tarrant and The Rookie’s Gigi Zumbado, with the rest no strangers to comedy.

Without further ado, below are the stars of the upcoming CBS comedy DMV.
