CBS Cancels 1 Show, Renews 11 Others & Announces 1 Is Ending — Full Details

A widely shared entertainment report from March 2026 summarized CBS’s renewal and cancellation decisions for the 2026–27 television season. At that point, CBS had renewed 11 shows, canceled one, and confirmed that one long-running series would be ending.

Renewed by CBS

• FBI
• Ghosts
• Tracker
• Matlock
• NCIS
• NCIS: Origins

• Elsbeth
• Survivor

The Show That Was Ending

CBS had already announced that The Neighborhood would conclude with its final season, bringing the sitcom to a planned end rather than a sudden cancellation.

The Original Cancellation

When the March report was published, the main cancellation was:

• S.W.A.T. — scheduled to conclude after its final season on CBS.

However, the situation later evolved.

Updated CBS Status (Spring 2026)

By late March and early April, CBS finalized more decisions:

Canceled

• Watson
• DMV

Renewed

CBS expanded its renewal list to 16 programs, including FBI, Ghosts, Tracker, Matlock, NCIS, Fire Country, Elsbeth, and others.

What Happened to S.W.A.T.?

Although CBS ended the original S.W.A.T., the franchise continued through the Sony-produced spin-off S.W.A.T. Exiles, starring Shemar Moore. The new series is separate from CBS’s renewal slate and represents the next chapter of the franchise rather than a CBS renewal.

Bottom Line

The original headline referred to an earlier snapshot of CBS’s decisions: one cancellation, 11 renewals, and one planned ending. As the season progressed, CBS added more renewals and ultimately canceled additional series, leaving Watson and DMV among the biggest casualties, while shows like FBI, NCIS, Tracker, Ghosts, and Fire Country secured their futures.
