The CBS network claims to have a very strong year because of the renewed shows and will have a stronger year next year. "Thanks to these exceptional shows, we're going to win the current season by 1 million viewers," said president of CBS Entertainment Kelly Kahl. "Next year, we'll have these strong returning series as our foundation… and Super Bowl LV too. It's a well-balanced lineup across Entertainment, News and Sports that will put us in an incredibly stable position for 2020-2021."

Additionally, three new series were greenlit for the network as well. Silence of the Lambs is a TV series continuing the events of the movie, while Equalizer reboots the original TV series which aired during the '80s. Finally, there's the Chuck Lorre comedy B Positive, which follows "a therapist and newly divorced dad" (Silicon Valley's Thomash Middleditch) who encounters a "woman from his past" (Masters of Sex's Annaleigh Ashford) while searching for a kidney donor.
