CBS has officially granted renewals to nine of its most popular shows at the moment, including comedy shows Ghosts, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, and Elsbeth. These newly-renewed shows are expected to be part of its 2025-2026 broadcast season.
“This season, our new and returning series continue to showcase CBS as the leader in launching and programming the biggest hits with mass appeal for broadcast and streaming viewers,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in a statement. “These returning shows represent a mix of long-standing hits and a new generation of fan favorites.

It centers around a young couple who decides to convert an old victorian mansion into a bed-and-breakfast.
