Ghosts, which has become a fan favorite, will return for seasons five and six, taking the show through the 2026-27 season. This commitment demonstrates CBS's confidence in the series' enduring appeal.

All three NCIS series - the original NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney - have been renewed for the 2025-26 season. This move ensures that the beloved franchise will continue to thrive on CBS.

In addition to Ghosts and the NCIS franchise, CBS has also renewed Elsbeth, Fire Country, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Hollywood Squares, and Tracker for the 2025-26 season. These pickups highlight the network's commitment to a diverse range of programming.

"This season, our new and returning series continue to showcase CBS as the leader in launching and programming the biggest hits with mass appeal for broadcast and streaming viewers," said CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach in a statement.

The nine renewed series join previously announced pickups Matlock and FBI, which is in the midst of a multiseason order that runs through 2026-27. Unscripted stalwarts Survivor and The Amazing Race are also set for next season.

CBS will make additional renewal decisions in the months leading up to May's upfronts. Several series, including The Neighborhood, Poppa's House, and SWAT, remain awaiting word on their futures. HA

'In the Lost Lands' Review: A Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy with Predictable Plot and Lackluster Chemistry

Image
In a post-apocalyptic world, one thing is certain: the names of places are brutally literal. Paul W.S. Anderson’s latest fantasy film, In the Lost Lands, makes this abundantly clear. The locations in the film often reveal their true nature just from their names. The titular Lost Lands are a decayed region filled with ruins and menacing creatures. Then there's "Skull River," which, unsurprisingly, is home to thousands of skulls. You can also predict the nature of "City Under the Mountain" and "Fire Fields" based on their names alone. The movie's setting feels like a world where maps have vanished, and even primary colors seem to have disappeared, leaving only grim hues behind. ' In the Lost Lands. ' Courtesy of Vertical The movie opens with a dystopian warning: "The world you know is gone." This familiar trope is common in post-apocalyptic tales, yet it feels more like a public service announcement than a compelling sta...

'The Monkey' Review: A Sinister Wind-Up Toy Gets a Horror-Comedy Twist in Osgood Perkins' Adaptation of Stephen King's Tale

Image
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Stephen King explored two distinct themes that would later become staples in his work: children with psychic abilities (as seen in Carrie, The Shining, and Firestarter) and inanimate objects turning into evil forces. Whether it was a possessed car, trucks, or even a laundry press, King’s sinister mechanical creations often came to life to cause chaos and destruction. These creepy machines made their way from King’s written works to the silver screen, with iconic directors like John Carpenter (Christine), Tobe Hooper (The Mangler), and even King himself (Maximum Overdrive, based on his short story "Trucks") bringing them to life. ' The Monkey. ' Courtesy of NEON One of King’s lesser-known stories, The Monkey, originally published in Gallery Magazine in 1980 and later included in his 1985 collection Skeleton Crew, is a chilling tale that centers around a seemingly innocent wind-up toy.

'Hallow Road' Review: Babak Anvari’s Tense Thriller Explores Parental Fear and Mythic Horror

Image
‎Hallow Road, British-Iranian director Babak Anvari’s latest offering, is a taut and unrelenting psychological thriller that builds on the intensity of his acclaimed 2016 debut, Under the Shadow. In contrast to his earlier work, this film takes a minimalist approach, largely unfolding within the confines of a car. The narrative follows an anxious set of parents who race through the night in response to a distressing call from their college-age daughter. With high-stakes performances from Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys, Hallow Road delivers a psychological slow burn that gradually introduces a darker, mythic dimension. ‎ ‎Rosamund Pike in ' Hallow Road. ' ‎Julie Vrabelova ‎ ‎The film's structure is streamlined and impactful, particularly in William Gillies' debut screenplay. The opening scenes set the tone of unease: a house in disarray with an uneaten dinner and broken glass, suggesting a sudden argument that has interrupted a family dinner. Maddie (Pike) i...

'Ash' Review: Flying Lotus' Sci-Fi Thriller Blends Mood and Mystery in Space

‎In Ash, Flying Lotus’ atmospheric sci-fi thriller, a woman awakens to the low hum of a malfunctioning system. The room is drenched in eerie neon blue, accented by the frantic red of an emergency light. Despite her blurry vision, the woman, identified later as Riya (Eiza Gonzalez), quickly absorbs the scene: overturned tables, shattered test tubes, and bloodied corpses—her crew members, who have met grim fates.

'Daredevil: Born Again' Review: Is the Return of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk Worth the Wait?

Image
In Daredevil: Born Again, the iconic archnemeses Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) face off once again, each claiming they’ve changed. Matt, struggling with a tragic past, swears he’s done with his vigilante life, while Wilson, now a mayoral candidate in New York City, insists he has left behind his criminal empire. Charlie Cox in ' Daredevil: Born Again. ' Giovanni Rufino/Marvel However, neither character truly believes the other, and neither do we. The core of this show relies on the inevitable return of these characters to their familiar roles. If Matt and Wilson ever completely transformed, there would be no story to tell. This sense of familiarity brings both comfort and constraint. Daredevil: Born Again largely sticks to the same formula that worked in the original Netflix series, which can be satisfying, but it also risks feeling stagnant. Despite having new leadership — with Dario Scardapane serving as showrunner and Matt Corman...
