CBS has renewed six drama series for the 2019-20 fall season, although one comes with some complications. “Murphy Brown,” “SEAL Team,” “S.W.A.T.,” “MacGyver,” “Hawaii Five-0” and “Bull” have all been renewed ahead of next week’s Upfronts presentations.
While it was good news for these six series, the “Bull” renewal comes with some complications. CBS has ordered another season of the legal drama, but the series production company, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, has severed ties with the series following a sexual harassment controversy.
In December, it was revealed that CBS paid cast member Eliza Dukshu $9.5 million over allegations that “Bull” star Michael Weatherly had sexually harassed her and forced her to leave the series.
As for other CBS shows, “Madam Secretary” has been renewed for a sixth season. The political drama stars Tea Leoni as the Secretary of State, and recently topped USA Today’s “Save Our Show” poll.
“SEAL Team” has been renewed for its third season. The series follows the professional and personal lives of an elite Navy SEAL team, and stars David Boreanaz.
“S.W.A.T.” returns for a third season on CBS. The series was inspired by a classic 1970s series of the same name and a 2003 film. “S.W.A.T.” stars Shemar Moore as the head of a tactical law enforcement unit in Los Angeles.
The reboot of “MacGyver” will be returning for a fourth season. The series stars Lucas Till and originally George Eads, but Eads left the series this season. Levy Tran has been brought into the series as a regular cast member to replace Eads.
Finally, “Hawaii Five-0” has been renewed for a 10th season on CBS. The reboot of the classic 1960s series stars Alex O’Laughlin and Scott Caan.
CBS also renewed news magazines “60 Minutes” and “48 Hours.”
Thursday’s renewals join the previously renewed series “Young Sheldon,” “Mom,” “Criminal Minds,” “Blue Bloods,” “NCIS,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “NCIS: New Orleans,” “FBI,” “God Friended Me,” “The Neighborhood” and “Magnum P.I.”
