CBS adding five new series
NEW YORK (AP) – Tea Leoni will portray the U.S. secretary of state in a new CBS drama this fall, and the long-running comedy “Two and Half Men” will enter its final season.
The top-rated broadcast network released a new schedule Wednesday that includes five new series that will start in the fall, four of them dramas. A New Orleans-based spinoff of television’s most popular series, “NCIS,” is among them.
CBS is making a few shifts, moving “NCIS: Los Angeles” to Monday nights and “The Amazing Race” to Friday. The network’s deal to show NFL football games on Thursday through late October means TV’s most popular comedy, “The Big Bang Theory,” will temporarily move to Mondays.
The network will also begin a weekly drama about stalkers.
