CBS has announced its fall schedule, and there are some surprises in its fall lineup. A couple of familiar faces, LL Cool J and Scott Caan, are returning to the network in a new spin-off series to the NCIS franchise, NCIS: New York, and the network has renewed Harlan Coben’s Final Twist. The status of The Road is unknown.
The network has also revealed what shows it is holding to midseason. This includes Matlock, which has proven to be a solid performer for CBS.
