CBS Quietly Pulled a Major Show From Its Fall Lineup
The decision follows a shakeup at the top, according to Deadline.
Warren Leight, known for his run on Law & Order: SVU, has stepped in as the new showrunner, replacing David Hudgins, who previously oversaw FBI: Most Wanted. With Leight's arrival, CBS appears to be resetting the series creatively before rolling it out to viewers.
Originally slated to debut this fall after new episodes of FBI on Monday nights, CIA was set to follow an unlikely partnership between Ellis's maverick CIA agent and a by-the-book FBI agent. That premise may now be subject to change as the new leadership gets to work.
Complicating the rollout further, CIA still hasn't locked in its cast.
Aside from Ellis, no other actors are attached to the project. A planned backdoor pilot intended to air during the most recent season of FBI was scrapped when casting delays slowed down production.
Despite the push, casting is expected to ramp up soon, with CBS eyeing a fall start for production. The hope is that the extra time and leadership change will give the series a stronger foundation before it premieres.
To fill the gap, CBS is bringing back Watson earlier than planned. The Morris Chestnut-led medical drama will now return for season 2 this fall, premiering Oct. 13 in the same Monday night slot originally held for CIA.
For FBI fans, the absence of a second series this fall may feel like a letdown. But with Tom Ellis still on board and a new showrunner with a strong procedural pedigree, CIA may benefit from the delay and show up stronger when it finally premieres in 2026.CBS Quietly Pulled a Major Show From Its Fall Lineup first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 12, 2025

It's the slowest time of the sports calendar. Here's something new to watch for every kind of fan
The public tunes in to sports for myriad reasons. Some are tied to specific fandom and allegiance. Others come for big-picture cosmic intrigue and cultural appreciation, and there's no shortage of interested bettors. Above all, sports give us a rare night-by-night consistency — perpetual diversions, conversation pieces or background noises. Advertisement There's a solid upcoming slate for international action. The prestigious Open Championship tees off in Northern Ireland, and women's soccer Euros are into the quarterfinal stages. This is a rather slow time for major American leagues, though. Pro basketball, hockey and football are on summer vacations, while the WNBA and MLB are in their midseason All-Star breaks. The lulls never last long, fortunately, and this is a perfect time to try out the unexamined life. Here are some interesting, if slightly out-there offerings, airing from Thursday through the weekend. This is not a comprehensive list, and we're eager to uncover new gems alongside our readership. Let us know what looks best or what we've missed in the comments below. Fox, CBS and ABC are available free over the air. ABC and ESPN programming is also available on ESPN+. Try Saratoga. This is the second week of graded stakes racing in upstate New York. Saratoga is one of the oldest sports venues in the country, currently celebrating its 162nd year of operation, and the Fox Sports networks are carrying live horse racing through Sunday. The Rick Violette Stakes goes down Thursday, with a $150,000 purse for the winner of the 1 1/16-mile turf race. Friday features the Grade 2 Shuvee Stakes, a $200,000 dirt track run named after the 1969 Filly Triple Crown winner. Then the weekend starts with the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks, which touts a $500,000 prize. It's also the second leg of New York's historic Triple Tiara. Other races on Saturday's packed card include the Caress Stakes (G3) and the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G2). Saratoga's placid and pastoral setting should make for a light summer watch. Try the PGA Tour's Barracuda Championship. It's nowhere near the Open Championship in terms of hype and history, but Thursday is also the beginning of the Barracuda Championship at Tahoe Mountain Club. The reigning champion of the sun-drenched alpine tourney is Nick Dunlap, who had earlier in the year claimed the first amateur PGA win in more than three decades. Advertisement The Barracuda is played at nearly 6,000 feet above sea level and uses the Modified Stableford format. This is the only Tour event with such a scoring system, and it's a load of fun because it incentivizes aggressive play. Golfers go for the highest score here. A double eagle is worth eight points, an eagle fetches five points and a birdie gets two. Pars are a push, while bogeys deduct one point and double bogeys or worse get a minus-three mark. The tournament concludes Sunday. Here's to 'the western pools' and 'silly fools.' Try England vs. Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends. The summer action at Edgbaston starts with two historic powerhouse nations. England and Pakistan squared off in the 2022 Men's T20 World Cup championship, with Sam Curran and the English winning by five wickets. These two sides also produced a classic in the 1992 World Cup final, in which Imran Khan led Pakistan to glory. The World Championship of Legends stars retired international cricketers who still have some juice. Opening batsman and off-spin bowler Mohammad Hafeez headlines the Pakistani group; decorated left-hander Eoin Morgan captains the host country. Try Holloway vs. Poirier 3. UFC 318's main event in New Orleans showcases two top American fighters. Max Holloway (26-8-0) enters as an ever-so-slight favorite against Dustin Poirier (30-9-0). Holloway is a former featherweight champion who is now back in lightweight classification; Poirier is set to retire after this weekend's fight. The latter won each of the previous two bouts — in 2012 by triangle armbar submission, then in 2019 by judges' decision. Together, these two have grown from unknown 20-somethings to decorated fan favorites. Holloway is risking his 'BMF' title belt, an unofficial honor coined by Nate Diaz in 2019. May the 'baddest' man win in the trilogy tussle. Try The Basketball Tournament. 'TBT,' indeed. The 12th installment of this throwback bracket event celebrates regional fandom and well-worn basketball bonds. Friday pits War Ready (Auburn alumni) versus X-Rayted (a medley squad). Later in the evening, the stacked La Familia team brings back notable Kentucky products like Willie Cauley-Stein and the Harrison twins (Andrew and Aaron). Saturday gives us Indiana's Assembly Ball, featuring Yogi Ferrell and Christian Watford. The field of 64 competes for $1 million in total winnings. Or … try the BIG3. If you're more partial to NBA reminiscence, there's BIG3 matchups on CBS throughout Sunday. The first of those pits the Chicago Triplets against the Los Angeles Riot on a neutral court in Detroit. Chicago is coached by the legendary Julius Erving and has Montrezl Harrell (2020's Sixth Man of the Year). LA, meanwhile, is led by eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard, former No. 4 pick Wesley Johnson and emoji enthusiast Mike Scott. The sideline strategist is … yup, it's Swaggy P! Advertisement Try SlapFIGHT. The burgeoning combat contest has its 46th card, 'Gold Rush,' coming up on Friday. Come on, let's not overthink this — it's open-handed five-finger blows until someone stumbles backward or TKOs entirely. Competitors have names like Grizzly, Raven, Biscuit, Slap Jesus and Da Crazy Hawaiian. T-Pain was a recent guest judge for the 'chest chop' challenge. All of this is patently ridiculous and wildly entertaining: Try the NFL Flag Championships. Before the NFL's preseason kicks off, youth participants repping all 32 teams go at it in flag football play. This year's venue is the Hall of Fame Village in Canton, Ohio. Championship games are slated for Sunday evening across ABC-ESPN networks. The Staten Island Giants were 2024 winners on the girls' side, while the Metro Select Saints won the under-15 boys competition. This younger version of the sport is fast, creative and particularly joyous. Streaming links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic. Restrictions may apply.

Bold and the Beautiful Must Watch Moments July 17: Bill Whisks Liam Away
The Bold and the Beautiful must-watch moments for Thursday, July 17, include Bill whisking an unconscious Liam away from the hospital. Will this further endanger Liam, or is it precisely what he needs? It promises to be a day filled with big choices and a whole lot of drama in Los Angeles. You won't want to miss a bit of it. Tune in to CBS or Paramount+ to watch your favorites as they navigate the details from the past and present. These moments will shape these iconic characters' future, no doubt, leaving you on the edge of your seat. Previously on The Bold and the Beautiful Luna (Lisa Yamada) caused chaos when she shot both Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Liam (Scott Clifton). Liam shot Luna. Though Luna seemed to be recovering after surgery, there was a heartbreaking twist—Li (Naomi Matsuda) revealed that Luna had died. Poppy (Romy Park) wasn't the least bit sorry about Luna's death, openly expressing relief that the dangerous woman was gone. Li, clearly upset by Poppy's harsh words, tried to remind her of the gravity of the situation, but Poppy doubled down on her shocking declaration, making it clear she had no regrets. WATCH NOW: Soap Hub's video podcast delivers it all! Meanwhile, Liam faced a grueling recovery, not only battling the physical aftermath of being shot but also dealing with a devastating diagnosis: an inoperable brain tumor. Bill (Don Diamont), desperate to see his son recover, couldn't shake his impatience as he waited for news. But Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and even Hope (Annika Noelle) reminded Bill that he was partly to blame for Luna not being behind bars, where she belonged. Bill, filled with regret, apologized to Liam and acknowledged his mistakes. But Hope accidentally revealed Liam's tumor to Bill. The news sent Bill into a spiral. Grace (Cassandra Creech) worked tirelessly in the operating room, doing everything she could to give Liam a chance at recovery. Bill saw his son after the surgery. Then, Grace let Bill and Liam know there was a Hail Mary chance to save his life. Bill was willing to pay for it, and Liam was willing to try it. Of course, there was one small catch… It had to remain a secret from the hospital and everyone. MORE: Find out what happens on B&B this week.
