TVLine released a printable night-by-night Fall 2026 primetime grid for ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC after the four networks unveiled their new schedules.
14 new series are included across the 2026-27 season—eight dramas, three comedies and three unscripted shows—with some launching in fall and others held for midseason or early 2027.
CBS adds titles including NCIS: New York and Cupertino, NBC rolls out Line of Fire, The Traitors and Wordle, Fox introduces Baywatch and The Interrogator, and ABC debuts The Rookie: North.
Several returning series are being saved for midseason, including ABC's The Rookie and High Potential, CBS's Matlock, Fox's Family Guy and The Masked Singer, and NBC's Destination X.
Fall premiere dates are still undisclosed and typically arrive in mid-summer, while the guide also flags recent cancellations such as CBS's The Neighborhood and NBC's Brilliant Minds.

With viewership falling but scripted shows increasing, is broadcast TV staging a creative comeback or just delaying its inevitable decline?

Are endless reboots like 'Baywatch' and 'NCIS' a sign of Hollywood's creative bankruptcy or a smart strategy for survival?
