CBS Unveils Its 2018 Winter Schedule

While other networks have already released their winter 2018 schedules, CBS waited until Friday to finalize theirs. Only two brand new shows will debut this mid-season on CBS.

The schedule includes a new comedy called Living Biblically, which was previously titled By The Book. It stars Jay R. Ferguson (Mad Men, The Real O’Neals) as Chip Curry, a man who decides to live his life strictly according to the Bible with his family. The show is based on A.J. Jacobs’ book The Year of Living Biblically and co-stars Lindsey Kraft, Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz, Tony Rock and Camryn Manheim.

The other new show is Instinct, which brings Alan Cumming (The Good Wife) back to CBS. Cumming stars as an author and former CIA operative who is lured back into law enforcement by NYPD Detective Lizzie Needham (Bojana Novakovic, Westworld), who is investigating a serial killer.

The new seasons of The Amazing Race, Survivor and Big Brother (Celebrity Edition) will also start in January. CBS did not schedule the new seasons of Code Black, Undercover Boss and Elementary yet.

Here’s the scheduled changes for January-March 2018. All times are in Eastern.
