CBS Adjusts Episode Counts for Multiple Returning Dramas

CBS has announced reduced episode orders for several of its returning drama series, including 'Fire Country,' 'Matlock,' and two 'NCIS' spinoffs, for the fall 2026 season. This decision is part of a broader strategy to expand the network's scripted programming roster. The adjustments aim to create space for new dramas and comedies while preserving the existing Friday night lineup.
