The Bold and the Beautiful: Season 32 Renewal Confirmed; The Young and the Restless Season 46 Premiere Announced

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, one can’t assume that soap operas are safe.

The network also announced that season 46 of The Young and the Restless will debut will debut on Monday, September 3rd.
