In June 2017, CBS renewed The Young and the Restless TV show for three seasons but the soap opera’s sister show, The Bold and the Beautiful, wasn’t as lucky. It was presumed that the latter series would be renewed for the 2018-19 season but, these days, it’s tough one can’t assume that soap operas are safe.
Today, CBS confirmed that The Bold and the Beautiful has been renewed for season 32 for the 2018-19 broadcast season. According to the network, the new season debuts on Monday, September 17th.
The network also announced that season 46 of The Young and the Restless will debut will debut on Monday, September 3rd.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Bold and the Beautiful and/or The Young and the Restless TV shows? Do you watch these CBS shows on TV or online?
I love CBS soaps. Til this day I miss As the World Turns and Guiding Light! I keep Y&R and B&B on series record. I’m 40 and have been watching since I was a child with my Mom and/or Grandmother. I’m a fan and will continue to watch until the shows officially end. But I hope they never do!!
I watch both The Y&R and B&B. Can’t stand Hope. Watching her with Liam makes me sick. Instead of the strong guy he was who waited for Steffy when he returned from being imprisoned by Quinn and Steffy was married to Wyatt, he has become a wimp with Hope, the “perfect one”. Maybe she can die in childbirth!
I record both the Y&R n B&B and I love them.
I like both shows. Record them everyday
I’ve been watching B&B and Y&R for years ANF live both shows. I believe the writers on both shows do their best to keep the topics relevant. I love watching both shows and dvr them daily. Keep both shows on the air and thank you.
The bold and the beautiful story line is a joke. I expect the show to be dropped unless something changes.
I have been watching both The bold and the beautiful and The young and the restless since they came on the air. I can’t imagine not seeing them. I record them everyday while I’m at work so I can see them when I get home.
I have been a fan of the B&B for many years, but the story line never changes just newer characters doing the same as the ones before. It’s a little disturbing that the family tree doesn’t have many branches since they all marry one another. With that being said I will still continue to watch.
Love Y & R and have watched it since the beginning. If I can’t watch it live, I record it. I haven’t watched B&B as long but I have become a fan and enjoy the show a lot. Hope they both stay on!
Love The Bold and Beautiful! Love The Young and Restless been watching since the beginning! Would be very disappointed if they went off! My mom and I watch them every day!
I have been watching Y & R since 1973-
I remember Kathryn drinking vodka and fighting with Jill. I love this show!
I also like the B & B -I wish it was an hour long.
I love both CBS soaps! However, B&B is getting very boring. May need new writers to jump start it again. You could do more in the one hour format. I watch every day. Keep Liam and Steffy apart. Tired storyline.
I am a new viewer of the B&B. I loved it from the start, see some of my old charactors from other daytime soaps on it. I too added this show as so many of my favorites have gone off the air. It is refreshing, different in its storylines, the half n hour goes by so fast. Enjoy this show. Consider adding another half n hour to it….CBS?
I love both shows
I love bold an beautiful an young an restless
