Original post 3 p.m. Monday May 15: Here are the network's fall TV announcements so far:
CBS
Ten years after Kathy Bates starred in Harry's Law, fictionally set in a Cincinnati law firm, the Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress returns to TV as Matlock, the iconic role made popular by Andy Griffith (1986-95).
But with the writers' strike in its third week, there's no guarantee that Bates, 74, will be seen as Madeline "Matty" Matlock this September. That's why the CBS fall lineup has "supersized" 90-minute versions of Survivor and The Amazing Race on the fall schedule.
CBS adds only one other new show for fall. It's another one-hour legal drama called Elsbeth, a spin-off about Carrie Preston's Elsbeth Tascioni lawyer character from The Good Fight and The Good Wife.
Renewed by CBS: 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods, Bob Hearts Abishola, CSI: Vegas, The Equalizer, FBI, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, Fire Country, Ghosts, Lingo, NCIS, NCIS: Hawaii, The Neighborhood, So Help Me Todd, Survivor, S.W.A.T., Tough as Nails, Young Sheldon.
