CBS is getting ready to wrap up the 2021-22 television season. As has become an annual tradition, several of the network’s shows have already been renewed, some have been cancelled, and other series’ fates are still up in the air.
On the scripted side of things, we already know that Blue Bloods, Bob ❤ Abishola, Bull, The Equalizer, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, Magnum PI, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Neighborhood, SWAT, and Young Sheldon have all been renewed for the 2021-22 broadcast TV season.
Meanwhile, MacGyver, Mom, and NCIS: New Orleans are all ending. The fates of All Rise, B Positive, Clarice, SEAL Team, The Unicorn, and United States of Al are still up in the air. Their futures (or lack thereof) will likely be revealed in the next few weeks.

What do you think? Which season and series finales will you be watching on CBS? Will you miss Mom, NCIS: New Orleans and/or MacGyver? Are you hoping that All Rise, B Positive, Clarice, SEAL Team, The Unicorn, and/or United States of Al will be renewed for the 2021-22 season?
Don’t cancel Mom!! It’s still a good show!
I agree strongly with the comments that “Seal Team” should be renewed, especially those of contributor Lee on May 2, 2021. This country is falling apart at the seams. We need a show with real American heroes. What could be better than a show which honors and tells the real-life sacrifices of the men and women of our military ?
Please don’t cancel MacGyver. Along with Blue Bloods and Magnum PI, it is one of the best shows on TV. What is wrong with CBS, you cancel all of the good shows and put on some very dumb shows to replace them with.
CBS really needs Seal Team. Please don’t remove this from the lineup.
Please let “NCIS:New Orleans” continue. It is the best of the NCIS family!
Please keep Seal Team on, it’s a show that honors all those who have served and the many situations they face day in and day out while serving in another country. Please don’t allow their dedication to serve and protect go unnoticed and unappreciated. Seal Team is just a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who selflessly serve.
I sincerely hope that tv show “Clarice” is renewed. One of the best new shows in a while.
agreed 100%
Please keep Mom on the air, there are so many more stories you could write! They are a great ensemble cast, both together and individually.
Please don’t cancel Seal Team
Seal Team forever
Love Mom. Will miss them so much
I want Mom and NCIS New Orlean to continue.
❤SealTeam!! Do not cancel.it!!
I love B Positive, I hope they get more seasons!
Please don’t cancel Seal Team.
