It’s hard to know exactly how long it will be before The Young and the Restless TV show is cancelled but, we do know that it won’t be anytime soon. In January 2020, CBS renewed this daytime drama for a staggering four more seasons, keeping it on the air through the 2023-24 broadcast season — the show’s 51st season. Will it continue to be the highest-rated remaining soap opera? Will it be the last daytime drama standing? Stay tuned.
Premiering on CBS on March 26th of 1973, The Young and the Restless follows the romances, hopes, and fears of the residents of Midwestern metropolis Genoa City. The large cast includes Peter Bergman, Donny Boaz, Eric Braeden, Sasha Calle, Sharon Case, Sean Dominic, Melissa Claire Egan, Camryn Grimes, Mark Grossman, Amelia Heinle, Bryton James, Tyler Johnson, Christel Khalil, Hunter King, Christian LeBlanc, Kate Linder, Michael Mealor, Mishael Morgan, Joshua Morrow, Melissa Ordway, Brytni Sarpy, Melody Thomas Scott, Michelle Stafford, Jason Thompson, and Jordi Vilasuso.
