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 years, 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.

What do you think? Do you still like The Young and the Restless TV series? Are you glad that it’s already been renewed by CBS?
After all these years I would be lost without Y&R!
After 40 years I still enjoy Y&R. I hope it does not end for a while.
After near 30 years of watching this show, I can’t take it anymore! Phyllis and Victoria are absolutely dreadful, enough with the weird obsession with them!!! What about the other characters???
Nick needs a suit jacket that needs a better fit. Todays episode . Today Monday 8-29 his coat was a poor fit……………………
This has to be one of, if not the worst season for the Y&R. The scenes with Phylis are the only scenes worth watching. At least there is some sort of controversy to maintain the appreciation of watchers. Stop this going into the past and rehashing old scenes that we have seen over and over. The writers appear to be lacking creativity lately and if they keep going this way ratings will plummet. I don’t know how many times lately I have just turned it off due to boredom.
Why are you killing off Rey Rosales? Sharon & Rey were finally happy & were really good together!!!!!!! If you are ridiculous to do that, then at least put Sharon & Nick back together!!!!! You still shouldn’t have killed Rey off!!!
I have watched and loved Y&R from the start. Since Covid it has been very boring. I understand the restrictions but the writing lacks excitement, the writing is boring and repetitive. They don’t use the actors to their best abilities. The writers need help or better ideas.
I am very disappointed by Devon’s actions! I really can’t stand him right now!!! He needs to move on with his life, like Mariah is! They were surrogates supposedly giving Abby & Chance the gift of a child and now Devon wants to take back the gift…it’s just a matter of time before he decides to go for full custody…I don’t like it at all!!!!!
And they should stop playing Russian roulette with Chance’s life….enough is enough!! Can anybody on this show just be happy sometimes!?!
Are writers weary, tired, or burned out? The concentration on jack now is a time waster and ever so OLD. Nothing new or interesting there, plus extremely predictable. C’mon guys!! Disappointed!!
I am a fan, but some of the wardrobe choices for the characters are questionable. For example Sally Spectra …she is an executive now but yet she dresses like she is going clubbing not to the office. A little bit of class and business look during working hours would be appreciate it. I may be wrong but it sends a wrong message.
Best regards.
The Young and The Restless has been very boring The last 2 months. 2/24/2022
Love the show. Keep renewing it. It’s the best one on tv.
I have watched Y&R since it’s enception March of 1973, I was a very young mother expecting my 4 th child. I love this show, but since the Bell’s are gone the writing lately isn’t as quick and smart! I never want this show to end, just please go back to the original integrity of the show. It was always a Christian fundamentally underlying consciousness.there were many religious characters. . It gave the show depth and made. It the success that it always has been.
